I coud not connect by sqlplus / as sysdba

export ORACLE_SID=prod
sqlplus / as sysdbait gives the following error:
ora-01030:insufficient privilege
how could i login by / as sysdba? do i need some setting?

You should create a special group for 'dba'.
Some installations also prefer you create an 'oinstall', but I prefer not to use it myself.
Rather, I just use the 'dba' group.
You should have an entry in your /etc/group file similar to:
dba:!:201:oracle
Then, in your password file, you should see the 'group' field (4th field) with the group ID that is in the /etc/group file.
oracle:!:215:201::/home/oracle:/usr/bin/ksh
Above, notice that the password entry notes the Oracle User ID (UID) is 215, and the Group ID (GID) is 201.
This is just an example (of course), and yours will be different.
As a recommendation, you might make a DBA group with ID 501 and then change the Oracle group ID to 501.

Cannot connect via sqlplus as sysdba

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g setup on Redhat Enterprise v4. I was able to do everything I needed until I rebooted. Now I can't connect using sqlplus. I get error ora-01031 when I type "connect system/*** AS SYSDBA" Anyone know what why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

According to me this should be dba, why its showing the group as oracle?I'm not sure why it's showing up as oracle. Do I need to change this? As far as I can tell, oracle is a group that no user is a member of.
Did you ever able make connection using / as sysdba?On this computer, I don't think I ever logged in as sysdba other than just as a system user.
What group did you specify while installing the software?groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
Pretty much followed http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRedHatAS4.php and the oracle docs on installation.

Sqlplus / as sysdba

Dears
i would like to log in sqlplus (user)/(password) as sysdba without writing the user and password just want to write " sqlplus / as sysdba "
any help???
thank you dears

Hi,
In the Oracle server you are able to connect using sqlplus / as sysdba. From a client, you can create a Wallet in order to use the Secure External Password Store
When clients are configured to use the secure external password store, applications can connect to a database with the following CONNECT statement syntax, without specifying database login credentials: connect /@db_connect_string where db_connect_string is a valid connect string to access the intended database, such as the service name, URL, or alias as illustrated in the earlier examples.
Cheers

It's not a SQL*Plus bug but a Oracle feature: when you try to connect to a local Oracle instance Oracle computes the shared memory key (used by the instance SGA) using ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID: if you add a character to ORACLE_HOME, the shared memory key will be different and Oracle does not find the instance and says "connected to an idle instance".

Unable to connect to Oracle using OS authentication (sqlplus / as sysdba)

Hello,
When I try to connect locally ,using OS authentication ( sqlplus / as sysdba ), on a Oracle database, I get "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error.
OS: Windows XP
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod.
connecting as sysdba using sys/pasword works.
I have setup :
-> Log on as a batch job
-> Log on as a service
I am also member of ORA_DBA group.
I mention that connecting "/ as sysdba" worked many months after I've installed the Oracle database. But at some moment in time connecting "/ as sysdba" was no longer possible.

Hi,
I have the same issues from the beginning..
I have two Oracle homes ( One for earlier installed SOA10g, and another for current installing SOA11g).
I have the right sqlora.net file. I have removed the old path and reset to point the new oracle home. I have this home entry as the first entry in my Universal installer too.
I AM ABLE TO CONNECT WITH sys USER AS SYSDBA on THE SAME SYSTEM ( I MEAN WHERE i INSTALLED THE DATABASE) USING THE command prompt.
But I am not able to connect as the SYSDBA with sys ACCOUNT through the SQLDeveloper tool. or RCU tool? Any help please. Again I am able to connect as a normal user through the SQL developer using the SYSTEM account.

Connect to sqlplus not validating username/password

Hello,
I have a sql script that I'm executing on the sqlplus command line after issuing a sqlplus /nolog command.
I'm passing in the username and password, as follows, to connect: 
connect &DBAUSERNAME1/&DBAPASS1 as sysdba;
 
But I do not understand why, if I enter an invalid username or password, it connects me anyways? Why is it not validating the username/password combination I supply?
Thank you,
Laura

Because of your "as sysdba" option. You're connected
like SYS.
SQL> conn sys/oracle@ora102 as sysdba
Connected.
sys@ORA102> conn sys/hello@ora102 as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
sys@ORA102>Because you connect locally and os authentification (i.e. your are in the trusted os group) is used. In this case password will not be verified.

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.
SQL> connect / @s1 as sysdba
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
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.

SQLPlus COPY error: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

This is what I'm trying to do:
I'm logged into an Oracle 8.1.6 database on a Windows 2000 Professional box and trying to copy data and tables from an Oracle 7.3.4 database on an HP/UX box.
I log into my 8.1.6 SQLPlus as:
scott/tiger@testdb
Then I run the following:
SQL> set copycommit 1
SQL> set arraysize 1000
SQL> copy from user/user1@devp1 -
create reps_t -

select * from reps_tThis is my error:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
Can someone give me a better understand how SQLPlus COPY works and give me an idea how to locate the problems.
Thanks,

I think this combination user/user1@devp1
is not ok.
U can get good material about copy command
from technet itself. Just search for Copy

Sqlplus "/as sysdba" is not working

We created oinstall group & oracle user (group is oinstall) on Solaris 10, 64bit SPARC box. And installed oracle 10g release 2. From the UNIX box sqlplus "/as sysdba" is not working.
sqlplus
Enter user-name: sys as sysdba
Enter password:
is working fine.
What could be the problem? Please help.
Thanks,
Prasad

For any of a number of reasons, you do not have 'operating system authentication' enabled.
This setup is fairly well described here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/dba.htm#sthref149

Why sqlplus / as sysdba create 4 connections?

Hi all,
I have a 4 node rac set-up running 11.2.0.2.
If I log on to one of the 4 servers and connect to the database using sqlplus "/ as sysdba" it connects to the local database but also
creates another 4 connections (one on each instance) so I end up with 5 connections. I wanted to know
a) why it does this,
b) how it does this
c) can I stop it doing this (if I just so wanted to?)
Many thanks

Hi Billy,
your response made me dig a bit deeper, and I found out what it was!
My query to return sessions was from gv$session, and I was using the gv$session.module column to show the connection.
However, if I changed this from module to gv$session, it returned the oracle PZ99 process.
Looking on Metalink, I see this process is used to return data from remote nodes and was introduced in 10g RAC.
Looking at the columns together, you will see way I thought the way I did originally!
Inst   SID    SERIAL# USERNAME MODULE                      PROGRAM

hi Gurus,
when trying to connect with SqlPlus 3.3 (oracle 7) on windows XP to a RDBMS 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) on Linux in WmWare, the window with SqlPlus 3.3 simply disappears...
Does anybody know what is happening?

Roberto.Oracle 7 was DEsupported before XP was a gleam in Bill Gates' eye. Even if you could get it started (on a platform for which it was designed) it won't connect to Oracle 10 databases.
