Login as SYSDBA or SYSOPER

Can OO4O connect with SYS as SYSDBA or SYSOPER. we have certain scripts that run with 'sys' username only. This needs to be executed when an adminsitrator clicks a button on our website. I tried the following:
Set OraDatabase=OraSession.OpenDatabase("oadv", "sys/syspassword as SYSDBA", 0)
But it says "Invalid user name"
Any help would be appreciated.

Connect to the dataabse as SYSTEM and prefix database table query with the SYS schema.

Issue encountered when Login as sysdba role using Thin Oracle JDBC Driver

Hello all,
we are now considering to use Thin oracle JDBC driver to create database in our project, but we met one issue when we tried to connect to oracle as sysdba role using Thin driver, and it throws java.sql.SQLException: Io Exception: SO Exception was generated, I have found some tips on oracle jdbc website and it says :
How do I connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?
The only way to do this is to use the Properties object when connecting, rather than specifying the username and password as strings. Put the username into the "user" property, and the password into the "password" property. Then, put the mode into the "internal_logon" property. Something like the following:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "scott");
props.put("password", "tiger");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysoper");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
When connecting as SYSDBA or SYSOPER using the Thin driver, the RDBMS must be configured to use a password file. See "Creating and Maintaining a Password File" in the "Oracle Database Administrator's Guide".
So, i did execute orapwd command to create a password file and also set remote_login_passwordfile=execlusive in my initxxx.ora initial parameter file, however, when i tried to connect, it failed.
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But what made me puzzled a lot is if i use OCI driver, it did work great, why??? guys, anybody knows, please give me some tips, thanks in advance.
regards,
Kaixuan @ Shanghai

clarify my question in detail:
Step 1 : create password file using orapwd command
Step 2 : create database instance using oradim command
Step 3 : login using sys as sysdba to startup database, e.g startup nomount pfile='...\initxxx.ora'
Step 4 : create database.
java code showing below:
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx ");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
issue was met here, when i tried to login as sysdba using sys, and in my java code, i use Thin driver, it then thrus exception, but when OCI driver is used, it works great, i don't know why.
that is, when i use "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it works great. but, when i use "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it failed. hopefully, i have clarified my question clearly. thanks.

ODBC login as sysdba

What is the syntax? From a client desktop I can login to SQL Plus and Enterprise Manager 10g, but not via ODBC (Test Connection) using the same login.
SQL PLUS:
Start/Programs/Oracle - OraDb10g_home3/Application Development/SQL Plus
presents a login box. I enter info as follows, and login is successful
User Name: sys
Password: <mysyspwd>
Host String: ORCL AS SYSDBA
web site to Enterprise Manager also presents a login box
User Name: sys
Password: <mysyspwd>
Connect As <I select SYSDBA from the dropdown list.>
but, ODBC, System DSN tab, Add
Data Source Name: <whatever>
TNS Service Name: ORCL -- or ORCL AS SYSDBA
User ID: sys
Click Test Connection
Password: <mysyspwd>
When the TNS Service name is filled in with only the TNSname,
I get ORA-28009 connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
When the TNS Service name is filled in with TNSname AS SYSDBA,
the error is ORA-12154 TNS:couldnot resolve the connect identifier specified.
When TNS Service name is ORCL and User Id is SYS AS SYSDBA,
the error is ORA-01017:invalid username/password;login denied
The dirver is Oracle in OraDB10g_home3 (10.01.00.02 SQORA32.DLL 2/10/2004)
And I can login via ODBC using
TNS Service Name: ORCL
User ID: scott
Click Test Connection button
Password: tiger
I get Connection successful
Thank you, Nancy

1 Both are dangerous, but using ODBC you can store the password of the account in the registry or odbc.ini. ODBC connections are usually being distributed to the end-users who don't have the faintest idea what they are doing. However, if they do know how to write a passthrough query, they can do anything.
2 Your database is open to everyone. You are exposing sensitive data. It is in hand of people who might know some SQL. Who might write incorrect queries. Who might doing things which can not be traced, as everything was executed by SYS.
The issue is most developers of commercial software vendors and major consultancies do not care about security at all. I was often instructed to grant the DBA role to the application owner, because otherwise 'the application doesn't work'. There are far more incompetent developers out there than you and I can imagine.
Connecting to the database as SYS, indicates a lack of concern for security, and being too lazy to find out what privileges are really required.
I'm not aware of any reason why the use of SYS should be allowed in any client tool other than sqlplus or maybe sqldeveloper.

Sys login as sysdba fails in OEM

System: Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2.0 with Oracle Database 10g Patch 10.1.0.4.0 on a SUN Solaris 9 SPARC machine.
Background:I've made a whole database backup and been trying to recover it back again. First i've tried that with RMAN but i didn't got all my data back in place.
Now i'm trying to run the recovery via the Enterprise manager. I create a job for it, my databases shuts down and I get the possibility to "perform recovery"
Problem:When i'm on the login page to continue with the recovery i have to fill in the Host Credentials and the Database Credentials as sysdba.
I know for sure that what i fill out in those fields is correct. The problem is that i can't login.
As Database Credentials do i fill in for username: sys and password: the correct paswd. It says that the Role = SYSDBA.
the error message: Unable to connect to the database.
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Neither can i log in with sys, password as sysdba via the Enterprise Manager when the database is up and running.
Things i've tried:login with sqlplus works fine
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"SQL> connect sys/<paswd> as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
Question:How can I solve the problem so i can log with sys users as sysdba with the Enterprise Manager?

Hi,
it's not a stupid question, are you really sure your password is correct? In your sqlplus session OS authentification is used, password is irrelevant (OEM does not use OS authentification). Try 'connect sys/abcxyz as sysdba' , it will work. There's a trick to check, if the password is correct.
Issue 'connect sys/<passwd>' (omit as sysdba). If you enter a correct password you will see ORA-28009 (SYS can only connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER) , otherwise you see ORA-01017 .
In the case of ORA-28009 (password IS correct) there seems to be something wrong with the password file or pfile/spfile:
- REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to NONE
- The password file does not exist
- The password supplied does not match the one in the password file
- The password file been changed since the instance was started
The password is located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, it can be recreated using orapwd utility, REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE should be set to EXCLUSIVE .

SQLPLUS login as SYSDBA

Hi Guys,
When I try to login as SYS, oracle complains that I should connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER. Fine. Now I enter the login user as SYSDBA and enter the password..it fails. However, if I login as user scott and password tiger, I can login. Then from the SQL prompt I do:
connect SYS/<password> as SYSDBA;
and it works. So my question is, when I use the same <password> as login prompt and user as SYSDBA or SYSOPER, why does that fail and how can I change to make that work directly without loggin in as some other user and then manually change to SYS.
Thanks

you must use a special screen
http://machine_name.domain:port/isqlplus/dba
check your sqlplus manualAre you sure?
I always do:
http://machine_name.domain:port/isqlplusdba
Note that in that case you must use htpasswd before ...

Login in sysdba mode from isql*plus in oracle9i

what is a operating system user in oracle and how to create it?
how to log in isql*plus with sys or system user with sysdba or sysoper ?

If you are using a 10.x version of iSQL*Plus, you'll need to use JAZN to set up a user to access the iSQL*Plus DBA URL. This is protected by default, using Basic authentication. So you'll need to set this up manually, then login with the credentials you create. The doc for this is here:

I am not very sure about the error but it seems to some permission related error on oracle binaries. Can you check those permissions.
Have you created pwd file for db ?

Login as sysdba problem...

Hi,
I've created my own database to make tests on Oracle and directly after that I've changed the passwords for all the users (sys and system users included).
When I try to login without the sysdba role, Oracle applies the password verification fine.
The problem is when I try to login as sysdba:
$> sqlplus 'sys as sysdba'
I can enter whatever password I want and I'm connected !!!
And it's the same if first I type:
$> sqlplus /NOLOG

What's the OS? Are you signed on to the OS as a user in > the DBA group?I'm using a Debian 3.0 (Woody) operating system with a Linux 2.4.18 kernel
I've got only one user which is a member of the DBA group and what I experienced, It's true, was only when I was logged as this user...
Does it means that when a user is a member of the DBA group on the operating system, even if the remote_os_authent parameter is set to false, he can login with sys as sysdba as he wants trough sqlplus ?

so , please help me.
thanks

it should be there regardless of the version you installed, go into your GAC and give it a look over (C:\Windows\assembly) the Oracle.** should be there after a successful installation. It is actually in your best interest to get the latest and greatest, the versions are backward compatible (I believe they all work to 9i++)
You can also goto
%ora_home%\odp.net
it will have sample c# and vb applications there
(%ora_home% tends to be c:\oracle\product\#####\Client_1\)
Have a look over the odp.net demos, that may very well put you on the correct track to getting things working.

How to get SYSDBA or SYSOPER credentials

Hi,
I am having SYS credentials. But I want to know SYSDBA or SYSOPER credentials.
How can I check in Database to get them?

My Old DB is 8i and Server is WindowsNT ,user account ='zadministrator'.
Why was it throwing error?Unfortuntately you did not show us the actual error message. Instead you chose to give us your interpretation of it. "logon denied" could be a lot of things. An actual error message, including the ora-nnnn number will tell us what it is.
And you didn't tell us if you tried this connection from the database server or a client machine.
Copy and paste from a command session is a wonderful thing, but only if you use it.
