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

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 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 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 !!

Sys as sysdba/sysoper

Hi there
Can any body explain me, why SYS user should always connect to the database as SYSDBA/SYSOPER only?
Why he cannot login without as a SYSDBA/SYSOPER.
TIA
Aqueel.

Though you should understand the implications of making this change. Here's the excerpt from the Oracle docs.
"O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY is intended for use when you migrate from Oracle7 to Oracle9i. It controls restrictions on SYSTEM privileges. If the parameter is set to true, access to objects in the SYS schema is allowed (Oracle7 behavior). The default setting of false ensures that system privileges that allow access to objects in "any schema" do not allow access to objects in SYS schema.
For example, if O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY = false, then the SELECT ANY TABLE privilege allows access to views or tables in any schema except the SYS schema (data dictionary tables cannot be accessed). The system privilege EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE allows access on the procedures in any schema except the SYS schema.
If this parameter is set to false and you need to access objects in the SYS schema, then you must be granted explicit object privilege. Also, the following roles, which can be granted to the database administrator, also allow access to dictionary objects: SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE, EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE, and DELETE_CATALOG_ROLE."

SYSDBA & SYSOPER privileges

Upon database creation, user SYS is created with the SYSDBA system privilege and user SYSTEM is created with the SYSOPER system privilege. It is possible to grant the privilege to other users as long as you are logged in as SYS AS SYSDBA. The problem is that before my arrival to my company someone went in and revoked the SYSDBA privilege from SYS and the SYSOPER privilege from SYSTEM. No user within the database holds these privileges anymore. Is it possible to regain the SYSDBA & SYSOPER privilege for SYS without having to recreate the database??? The SYSDBA privilege is not even possible to grant to SYS since I obviously have to log in as SYS AS SYSDBA but can't since the privilege was revoked. Any ideas???

Michael, lets start from scratch here b/c some of your assumption are off. SYS and SYSTEM are not granted SYSDBA or SYSOPER by default.
You can "connect internal" which gives you SYSDBA privs. Set up a password file using the "orapwd" executable and in the init.ora file set remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive. When you connect you will become SYS in the database and have the SYSDBA privilege.
Or simple connect to the operating system with a unix user that is in the group designated as "OSDBA" - the name of the UNIX group is probably "dba". Then you can "connect internal" or "connect / as sysdba". When you connect you will become SYS in the database and have the SYSDBA privilege.

Missing SYSDBA & SYSOPER System Privileges in EM checkbox lists

I created a brand new user called USER1.
When edit the USER1 using Eneterprise Manager, System Privileges, both the SYSDBA and SYSOPER are missing from the system privileges check box listing.
Why it is like that?
I am using Oracle 10g R2 and HPUX.
Thank you,
Smith

It seems that the user you have used to login to EM doesn't have permissions to grant sysdba, sysoper privileges, please connect to em AS sysdba

Difference between CONNECT and CONNECT As SYSDBA

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me... what is the difference between this two..
SQL> SCOTT/TIGER@my_service;
you get only Scott related objects.
SQL> SCOTT/TIGER@my_service AS SYSDBA;
you get all SYS objects also..
What is happening inside.. how can u allow scott such as ordinary user to login as SYSDBA and giving all datadictionary access..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This is because of Operating System authentication:test$ id

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 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.

Problem connecting as sysdba ....

Hi,
I'm going to manually create manually a database on Windows 2005 server. I have already installed successfully the DB software.
Having set the ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID and created the oradim i 'm trying to connect as sysdba...but the error ORA-01031 is appeared....
SQL> conn /as sysdba
I defined the Administrator user to the ORA_DBA group and tried the above but the same problem insists.....
What may be the reason ...??? Do i have to restart the server after setting the Administrator user to the ORA_DBA group....???
Note: I use Ora Db10g. v.2
Thanks a lot
