/ as sysdba

Hi ,
I connected to a database using remote desktop, and when i tried to connect it using / as sysdba , it got connected , though it did not shut down when i gave shutdown immediate command.
It said : insufficient privileges.
But i am wondering , why am i missing the privilege when i am connecting as SYSDBA.
Is it because i am using a remote desktop.
thanks

What is your os and oracle version?
If I understand correctly you are connecting to the server via remote desktop connection (so I assume your OS is windows) and when you try to connect with:
sqlplus / as sysdbayou get an error?
Please post the exact error and also search the alert log for any related errors and post it.
Please also try to do the following:
sqlplus -prelim / as sysdba
shutdown abort;
exit;
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup;
shutdown immediate;In windows you can stop the oracle database service to stop the database and in linux you can "kill -9 <pmon pid>" kill the pmon process id.
Regards.

System and sysdba difference?

Hello ;
What is the difference between system and "as sysdba" difference?
IS there anything beyond to be a superuser in ORacle world?
I installed an Oracle and worked on it for a few days in order to set up a connection from sqlplus. Now I can connect to db by using sqlplus finally.
When I attempt to connect is as "system@xe / as sysdba" , sqlplus screams that "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" ... How can I get rid of that error message?

Guys;
thanks for your link, advises and explanations but none of them is helping me understand...
I am not trying to connect to the server from itself.
I have a Oracle Express on Ubuntu (Servername: ubuntu11-3)
I have a Oracle Ent on Windows (Servername: orc01.enderun.lan )
...and I have been trying to configure my linux client (my linux client hostname is "ubuntu12-1"). All my purpose is to connect ubuntu to my server(s) from my linux client as sysdba...
...ok I can understand Oracle has an emotional relation with "dba" group but the user (administrator) which is on my client ( ubuntu12-1) is a member of dba group of my client machine or not? How can Oracle server be aware of this???
Well, I can create a dba group on linux server and/or an ORA_DBA group on Windows server but these groups are not being used by my client (ubuntu12-1) ...
Could u please help me understand?So if all you want is to connect a client to a server, why you are asking the difference between Sysdba and System accounts? How does that helps in anyways in this task?
The groups are relevant only for the server. They have got nothing to do with the client and neither Oracle's server system would bother that which user on your client is a part of which group. Now, coming back to your question, did you configure the TNS service from your client connecting to the server and also, did you install a client software on your Ubuntu machine?

Unable to log in with sysdba privileges

Hi All,
I am not able to connect with sysdba privileges through the sql*plus on the remote machine running on Windows. It gives me the following error :

Any idea, what's missing ?

Yogesh,
Did you try adding a new password file? In your pfile location, try this --
1) Remove the existing password (orapw<SID>) file
2) Generate a new password file - orapwd file=orapw<SID> password=<SYS_passwd>
Try reconnecting thru the SQL*Plus client.

Create a new user for oracle 10G ASM instance with sysdba system privilege

Hi,
In our Golden Gate Project, we require the SYS user credential to connect to the Oracle 10g ASM instance to read the database transaction logs.But our client is not providing the SYS user credential to connnect to ASM instance.
I'm getting the error message "ORA-01109: database not open",When I tried to create a new user using the below the steps in oracle 10g ASM instance
1. Login using "sqlplus / as sysdba"
2. Create user <username> identified by <password>;
But in oracle 11g ASM instance, I'm able to create new user by connecting the ASM instance with SYSASM role without issues.
Is there is any workaround to create a new user with sysdba system privilege in oracle 10g ASM instance?.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
Recreate the password file for the ASM instance as follows:
Unix:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/PWD<SID> password=<sys_password>
Windows:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/database/PWD<SID>.ora password=<sys_password>
Now sys password is reset, we are ready to use sys for ASM management. I decided to create another user ASMDBA as I tried above.
SQL> create user ASMDBA identified by test01;
User created.
SQL> grant SYSASM, SYSOPER to ASMDBA;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPE SYSASM
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
ASMDBA FALSE TRUE TRUE
Please see this link : http://orachat.com/how-to-change-asm-sys-password-creating-sysasm-user-11g/

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 ?

Steps to find the password for users as sysdba

What are the steps to find the password for users in dba_users as sysdba?
It is in encrypted form ? How can I view it ?
Pls tell in steps ?

I asked for sysdba
When he can change password why can't he view ?Can you see the users password on a windows domain? No
Can you see the users password on a Unix box? No
Can you see the users password on a mail server? No
Why would it be different in Oracle?
Why is hacking coming here ?Because it's something against the way the software works.
This can, and is, dangerous to let the administrator (Oracle, MsSQL, Win*, Unix,...) know the users password for so many reasons. For example:
. Privacy
. Etiquette
. Password reuse (password reused for Bank account, etc)
. [insert a whole bunch of other good reasons I'm not going to bother writing]
And anyway it is useless!

Set password when login as oracle from db server / as sysdba

10.2.0.3.0
Hi, we have a linux db server and oracle user (group dba and oinstall) can login / as sysdba without giving any passwords.
i have created orapwd file and changed REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=exclusive in init.ora file but still, if someone is in the dba group he can connect without providing a password.
Can you please tell me how can i succeed for all OS users to be asked for password even if they belong to dba group?
thank you

The behavior you describe is normal and experted. By default members of the Oracle Home directory structure owner group can log on as sysdba and can avoid the need to use a valid password since sysdba users actually log in as user sys.
If you do not want to allow this then you should have installed Oracle with a group other than DBA such as oinstall and then not assigned any OS users to this group.

Orahar.From the Oracle 10g Database Utilities manual, chapter 19, covering original import and export:
Invoking Export and Import As SYSDBA
SYSDBA is used internally and has specialized functions; its behavior is not the same as for generalized users. Therefore, you should not typically need to invoke Export or Import as SYSDBA, except in the following situations:

Need my user account to have sysdba rights. Can't get it to work.

Hi All,
I have installed sql developer and i don't know how to change my user account to have system rights. when i try to login as sysdba i keep getting errors. I have tried a tutorial, the one were you're suppose to create an hr account but I can't even create that either, i keep getting the same error.
I have un-installed sql developer twice and each time when I'm re-installing the software i never get the question to create a password for sys or sysdba, it seems that the old dll or ini file are still in the system. So, i just have access as default user and I might have missed the migration part when i first installed this thing. Any ideas? Do I need to download the enterprice manager in order to fix this (that will do it right?), or?? I have no clue at this point. Also, I was thinking that i should be able to change my user account manually somewhere in the orapassw doc. Is that an option? As you can tell im lost and i have a job deadline in the next couple of days, so please if anyone could take a look at my problem wood be wonderful and much appreciated.
Thx

SYSDBA should never be used for anything other than backups and patching.
Which of these two activities do you think appropriate for a user account?
My answer is the same as Sybrand's. What you are asking is totally inappropriate.
Far better to tell us specifically which actions you wish to perform and we will
help you with the specific permissions you require.

Start dbconsole failure and incapacity to log on as sysdba

Hi everyone
I have successfully installed the oracle software. But I am not able to start dbconsole. After successfully defining oraclesid, dbconsole could not still be started and the following error message is displayed: A service specific error occured
The second problem I am having is connecting as SYSDBA. I am not sure if I was supposed to do smtgh while installing the software(and creating the dtbse). But I am able to connect to the database as SYSTEM. I though I would have the same privileges as SYSDBA but apparently no. I have tried to start up the database after loging on as system. But it failed.
Could you please let me know how I could start dbconsole and log on as Sysdba.

Problem with sysdba need help

I faced a difficult problem with sysdba. The thing is, I don't have a user name " 1/2@3 ". But the moment I connected as 1/2@3 as sysdba, then it connected automatically and to utter surprise I could drop a user.
If it is so, then how the database will remain secure.
Definitely there is a solution and I need it urgently.

Hi
c:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
After logging into SQL, check the username using:
SQL> Show user
If the above command returns "sys", change the password of the user "sys" using:
SQL> Alter user sys identified by "yourpassword";
Thank You

Problem in jdbc connecting as sysdba

Dear ORACians,
i am using database 8.1.5 and jdbc 8.1.5 and jdk 1.5.
my problem: i want to connect to the database as sysdba through jdbc.
oracle is telling that to connect to the db as sysdba we have to use properties file. i did the same. It is connecting to the db as normal mode not as sysdba mode why???
Actual code is:
Properties conProp = new Properties();
          conProp.put("user", tf[2].getText());
          conProp.put("password", String.valueOf(cpwd.getPassword()));
          conProp.put("internal_logon", "SYSDBA");
try{
               DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
               String conUrl ="jdbc:oracle:thin:@"+tf[0].getText()+":"+tf[1].getText()+":"+tf[3].getText();
               conn=DriverManager.getConnection(conUrl,conProp);
               stat=conn.createStatement();
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f,"Connection Estblished...");
               jdcn.dispose();
          }catch(Exception w){
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f,String.valueOf(w));
i hope ORACians will guide me to develop my apps in proper direction.
