• The user account must be a member of the local Administrators group and have sysdba privileges.
• The user account must be granted appropriate permissions to access Oracle databases; Read and Write are minimum required, Full Control is recommended.

Linux-Based Oracle Server

3. In the Server drop-down list, specify a target Oracle server. You can select an Oracle server from the list or enter a DNS name of the target Oracle server.
4. In the SSH port field, specify the port number of the selected Oracle server.
5. In the Account filed, specify an account under which to connect to the specified server.
6. In the Password field, enter the password.
