How to restrict data pump logon to localhost I have a user in Oracle 12c database that will be used to run full data pump export and import. I would like to restrict logons from that user to localhost.

I have tried to create logon trigger:

create or replace trigger logon_trigger 
  after logon on database
declare
  host varchar2(50);
begin 
  host := trim(lower(sys_context('USERENV', 'HOST')));
  if lower(user) = '&lt;data pump user&gt;' then
    if host &lt;&gt; '&lt;hostname&gt;' then
      raise_application_error(-20000, 'Login not allowed');
    end if;
  end if;
end;
/


I can see from the audit trail that this trigger has fired (ORA-20000: Login not allowed) but the user is still allowed to logon from remote host.

This restriction works for normal users but not for the data pump user. I suspect this has something to do with the roles exp_full_database and imp_full_database.

Is there some way to make this trigger work or should I use local OS authentication?
ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER Privilege Causes Logon Trigger to Skip Errors (Doc ID 265012.1)

ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER Privilege Behavior with Database Logon Trigger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logon triggers can be used to mediate database access: when the restrictive 
conditions are not met, an application error with a message is raised that 
causes the logon to be denied.

...

However, we need to keep at least one user who can still connect when there is 
a problem : a fallback mechanism must exist where an administrative user is 
exempt from such errors of a prohibited connection. 

Any user granted the ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER system privilege can still 
connect : instead of getting the error causing the session to be terminated, 
the error is recorded in the alert.log and a trace file in user_dump_dest.


And:

select * from dba_sys_privs where privilege = 'ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER';

GRANTEE                        PRIVILEGE                                ADM
------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- ---
WMSYS                          ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER              NO 
DBA                            ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER              YES
SYS                            ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER              NO 
IMP_FULL_DATABASE              ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER              NO 


So yes, you can try local OS authentication.
