Oracle has merged the two Oracle Audit Vault and Oracle Database Firewall into the new Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall. Audit Vault and Database Firewall installation comprises of installing Audit Vault first and then Database Firewall. It is possible to use only one part of the product, but you will have to install the Audit Vault Server in any case as this is also the repository for the Database Firewall. This post deals with Audit Vault Server installation only.

4. Post Installation
• To access the Audit Vault Server Post-Configuration page, open any internet browser and enter the ip address of the Audit Vault Server, in my case https://192.168.56.31 (see Network Configuration)
• Click Proceed anyway (or similar). This is due to self-signed certificate.

That's it really. As you could see the installation isn't really more than specifying the IP address and passwords.
