Connecting as sysdba in OEM

I can connect as sysdba fine through sqlplus.
I can not connect as sysdba using OEM, the famous
'ORA-01031 - insufficient privileges' appears.
What has to be setup to allow 'system' to sign on
to a database using OEM? (Oracle 8.1.6)
Thanks.

Jerry,
If your administrators will be using the OEM console, they do not need to be defined in the database password file. You can get them sysdba prvileges in a database known by OEM by having them access it as a already defined sysdba user.
1. In the OEM console, there is an option called "Manage Administrators" under the "System" menu at the top of the console window. I don't have my server up, but I think I have this right.
2. Define your user as administrator here.
3. When they attempt to access a database from the console, they will be asked how they wish to connect.
4. Have them enter the username/password of a user already defined in that database with sysdba prvileges.
5. Have them select "sysdba" in the "connect as" box.
6. Have them check the save as prefered profile or something like that. ** This one is optional. **
7. Finish connecting to the database.
This way, they don't have to be defined in each database password file and are all managed from the OEM console.

Error connecting as sysdba

hi all,
i m using oracle 11g ie 11.1.0.6.0... my OS version is solaris10. The OS got corrupted and was again re-installed...Oracle was installed in different mount point,so there was no problem from oracle side as creating the oracle user and the relevent groups were done.
But when connecting as sysdba ie
sqlplus "/as sysdba" gives
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
but is able to connect as
sqlplus /nolog
SQL>conn sys/****** as sysdba
connected
this problem is occuring after OS-re-installation

Hi,
Please check if OSDBA operating system group was assigned to O/S user.

Connecting as SYSDBA from Remote Machine

Hello,
I've installed Oracle8.6.1 on Linux6.2,& i've installed DBA studio on one my windows'NT machine.
When i want to connect as SYSDBA from DBA Studio & Username/Password as system/manager it says --
ORA-01031 Insufficient Privileges
but i'can connect as SYSOPER & Normal.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem???
null

1. use orapwd command-line utility to create a new password file.
2. set remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive in initxxx.ora file.
3. restart instance.
4. use sql*plus or svrmgrl to grant sysdba right to the schemas you want to be able to logon with sysdba rights.

Connecting as sysdba returns ORA-01017: invalid username/password

SQL Developer on my Win7 x64 Enterprise machine with Oracle 11gR2 Express was working fine until I tried to install the ODAC connectors so I could use Oracle as a data source for C# and VB in Visual Studio 2010.
The connection properties are:
Connection name "/ as sysdba"
Role "default"
Connection Type "basic"
OS Authentication checked
Hostname "localhost"
Port 1521
SID "orcl"
These are the same as when SQL Developer was working.
If I try to log on to SQL*Plus at the user-name prompt with "/ as sysdba", I get "insufficient privileges".
Where and what do I check to fix this?
Thanks.

>
Where would I check for DOMAIN/USER entries?
select username, authentication_type from dba_users;With the prefix, there should be a database user e.g. "OPS$MYDOM\MYUSER" with external identification.
But with Connection type Basic, I assume you would not be able to connect anyway.
Try type TNS to see if that works or changes anything. (That is, if corresponding db user exists for OS authentication.)
Do you have a requirement to use OS authentication? Could you instead use a database user with a password, i.e. uncheck OS Authentication in SQL Developer?
The connections in SQL Developer are the Auto-Generated Local Connections:
/ as sysdbaI've found a few quirks in SQL Developer 3.0.04 with the auto-generated connection named "/ as sysdba". But right now I don't see that its relevant to this case.
Just create your own connection instead. If you need sysdba administrative connection, change Role in connection properties.
>
By the way, the password for SYSMAN will expire in 5 days. How do I update the password?You should separate questions in separate threads and related forums, but lookup the ALTER USER command in the SQL Reference book.

Connecting as sysdba different client versions

Hi !!
I've installed client software ver. 8.0 (Designer 6i), Oracle 8.1.7. Client and Oracle Client 9i, over Win2k Prof. There is a script for run an installation process, whose try to execute "connect system@instance as sysdba". In this moment instance could be DBOra81 (RDBMS Oracle 8.1.7.) or DBOra90 (RDBMS Oracle 9.0.1.1.1). Testing the installation script, I found it doesn't work changing the Primary Oracle Home in all cases:
* Oracle Primary Home DEFAULT_HOME
SqlPlus 8.0 can't connect any instance. I get ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SqlPlus 8.1 connect successfully in both DBOra81 and DBOra90.
SqlPlus 9.0 can't connect any instance. ORA-01031: insufficient privileges again.
* Oracle Primary Home Ora81: The same cases
* Oracle Primary Home Ora90: The Same Cases.
Why I can't connect as sysdba with Oracle 9i client software ?
Thank's in advise !!

I have two servers with Oracle 10.2.0.4 running (RHEL 5). In one server I am able to connect using "Connect /as sysdba", in another I am unable to do so. It gives

To set up iSQLPlus for SYSDBA capability, you want to read Chapter 2 & 3 of the SQLPlus Reference manual. It provides step by step instructions. http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=3
Note - the SQLPlus manual, not the SQL manual

How can I find exact username if I connected with sysdba privilege?

I granted sysdba privilge to a database user. I can connect that user as sysdba. From that users session, 'show user' command showing "SYS" and also username from v$session is also showing "SYS". How can I find actual username used for connecting the database as sysdba?

Thanks for the replay..
But my requirement is that in our production system auditors want to give separate username for each administrators (they are not recommending sys and system).
Normal dba privilege is not a problem. But for sysdba privilege every users are showing the user "SYS". How we can I identify which user is login to the database for a particular work if they connected as sysdba. How can I find which user did that (not just want the username "SYS", because all the administrators are identified by sys if they are connected as sysdba). If auditing is enabled how can I find the exact username. Because we are planning to give sysdba privilege to some of the administrators.
Also, is there any option to find the username, if one user is initiate shutdown of the database?First Please close the thread and keep questioning in only one thread.
then do not connect as sysdba

New member of ora_dba group on server can not connect as sysdba.

We have added a new dba to our staff and have made him a member of the local group Ora_dba on the server (9i windows). He can not connect as sysdba but a long-time dba can.

I know this is a very old Oracle challenge so I am sure someone can give us some guidance!
Thanks

1) Examine the contents of the file located at:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.c
This file lists the operating-system groups that have administrative access, notably the one listed in the line containing "SS_DBA_GROUP". Is t
he UNIX account you are using to connect / as sysdba a member of this OS group?
2) Examine the contents of the file located at:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
Within this file, the line containing the string "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES" should either be commented out, or be set to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (BEQ,NONE)
3) Check the value of $ORACLE_SID for the UNIX account(s) connecting / as sysdba to ensure it is correct.

Connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER

Does anyone have a sample on how to connect as either SYSDBA or SYSOPER through 0040?
Thank you in advance,
Ben

Hi,
First, from the 8.1.7 CD, install the 8i Management Server components option. This will install the management server componenents on your disk.
Then from the Enterprise Manager menu, run the configuration assistant, which will create the Management server service for you (NT) and create a repository.
The connect from the Enterprise Manager Console and connect using SYSMAN and password oem_temp. From the Menu, select discoverer/refresh node. Then you have to add the database to the node (it will be detected automatically from server running the Management server or the Intelligence Agent. )
Then you can connect to the database using sys/<password> and choose SYSDBA role !
Hope this helps
Deepak
i could only connect as NORMAL. i don't have a management server.
or do i have to log as administrator in order to connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?

Connecting as sysdba / sysoper

Hi Guys, If I do this
connect / as sysdba
connect / as sysoper
I am connected but how do I ensure that it prompts me for a sysdba / sysoper password before it connects me.
Thank you.

and the exact to connect would be
$sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
or
$sqlplus
username:/ as sysdba
password:yourwish/nopassword/anything
or
$sqlplus /nolog
sql> conn / as sysdba
But for all these things you need to set up ORACLE_SID,ORACLE_HOME,PATH varibales
but dont use OS authentication
