Locked(Timed)

Hello.
I have just installed Oracle 10g database, and an applicative account keeps getting locked out. The note in Enterprise Manager says Locked(Timed), so I know it is a timed lockout. I have unlocked, expired password, changed password and everything I know to do, but it still keeps happening. I have not see this in previous versions of Oracle, so what did I do wrong? How can I correct the problem? Thanks!!!
There is a way to monitor and create an audit table with all logins in order to see where this problem occours?

If you enable auditing then set AUDIT SESSION
you would be able to query the DBA_AUDIT_SESSION view to identify successful and failing logins.
An account goes into "LOCKED(TIMED)" when
a. It has a profile that is configured with FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME
b. Some one or some application / client attempts the account with the wrong password
Oracle then "locks" the account after the number of consecutive failing logins exceeds FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS and the account remains locked for PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME.

  • Difference between LOCKED and LOCKED(TIMED)

    Hi,
    Could anybody please elaborate the difference between LOCKED and LOCKED(TIMED) of a user in Oracle
    I checked several explanations but did not get clear idea.
    Please assist me..
    thank you..

    Hi,
    The first one is simple locking.
    But the second occurs when user has failed password attempts which was given to him/her via FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS PASSWORD parameter in his/her profile:
    SELECT username, account_status FROM dba_users WHERE username= ‘USER_NAME’;
    and
    SELECT resource_name,resource_type,limit FROM dba_profiles WHERE profile='PROFILE from 1st query';

  • Regarding locked(timed)

    HI,
    i got a query from one of my developers that while trying to connect to user they are getting error the account is locked.i checked the account_status from dba_users and it showed me loked(timed).
    when does this happen.
    can any one suggest me.
    regards,
    kishore.

    It happens when you try to login with wrong password.
    So maximum tries depending on values set in your user profile, your user will be locked..

    Hi Arjuna,
    Thanks for your suggestions. But can you also help me how to make the session
    bean thread safe?
    Thanks in Advance

    You
    need to make it thread safe. Also, store the handle of the session bean
    instead of the session bean itself in the session.
    By the way, session beans (handle or otherwise) are not meant to be stored
    in the HttpSession, and here is why:

  • Monitoring lock timing through CCMS

    I want to setup a ccms monitor that has to notify when locks under SM12 are older than 24 hours. Can anybody have the information through which monitoring method I can configure this (solution manager 4.0 or WAS6.40)?
    Thanks
    Sateesh

    Hallo Sateesh,
    such a monitor does not exist within the SAP delivered monitor templates. You would need to create (which means you have to write a function module or report) your own data collector to get this data. The document <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001752571999E/SUPPLIER_46A_EN_Neu.pdf">How to Write a Data Supplier for the Alert Monitor</a> describes how to do this.

  • Server read lock request timed out in MDM 7.1 server

    Hi,
    I have a issue regarding the MDM 7.1 server which is on windows 2003 server and Database as Sql server 2005.
    The issue is when i am trying to load the MDM server from the MDM console it is popping out the error message as "Server read lock request timed out"
    when i restart the server and try to mount the MDM server it is getting mounted but after a while again it popping out the error message.
    i saw few log's at batabase and o/s but no luck, Is there a way to solve this issue.
    Thanks
    Phani Ram

    Hi Phani,
    I am not quite sure so just have a look at guide u201CGood to Knowu201D Topics for a Smooth SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 Implementation
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b0caa1-92e5-2c10-c687-a8d05e778e59?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    Page no: 21/96 Example 3: Request for a server/repository read lock timed out where it is said that with MDM 7.1, lock attempts time out in 2 minutes to prevent Consoles from locking up for long times. This is not an error and does not require server to be restarted.
    So please go through complete section 5.6 MDM Server Client Requests
    Hope it helps..

  • BDB read performance problem: lock contention between GC and VM threads

    Problem: BDB read performance is really bad when the size of the BDB crosses 20GB. Once the database crosses 20GB or near there, it takes more than one hour to read/delete/add 200K keys.
    After a point, of these 200K keys there are about 15-30K keys that are new and this number eventually should come down and there should not be any new keys after a point.
    Application:
    Transactional Data Store application. Single threaded process, that's trying to read one key's data, delete the data and add new data. The keys are really small (20 bytes) and the data is large (grows from 1KB to 100KB)
    On on machine, I have a total of 3 processes running with each process accessing its own BDB on a separate RAID1+0 drive. So, according to me there should really be no disk i/o wait that's slowing down the reads.
    After a point (past 20GB), There are about 4-5 million keys in my BDB and the data associated with each key could be anywhere between 1KB to 100KB. Eventually every key will have 100KB data associated with it.
    Hardware:
    16 core Intel Xeon, 96GB of RAM, 8 drive, running 2.6.18-194.26.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Diagnosis:
    I'm seeing way to much lock contention on the Java Garbage Collector threads and also the VM thread when I strace my java process and I don't understand the behavior.
    We are spending more than 95% of the time trying to acquire locks and I don't know what these locks are. Any info here would help.
    Earlier I thought the overflow pages were the problem as 100KB data size was exceeding all overflow page limits. So, I implemented duplicate keys concept by chunking of my data to fit to overflow page limits.
    Now I don't see any overflow pages in my system but I still see bad bdb read performance.

    The above stats show that there is too much time spent locking (futex calls) and I don't understand that because
    the application is really single-threaded. I have turned on asynchronous transactions so the writes might be
    flushed asynchronously in the background but spending that much time locking and timing out seems wrong.
    So, there is possibly something I'm not setting or something weird with the way JVM is behaving on my box.
    I grep-ed for futex calls in one of my strace log snippet and I see that there is a VM thread that grabbed the mutex
    maximum number(223) of times and followed by Garbage Collector threads: the following is the lock counts and thread-pids
    within the process:
    These are the 10 GC threads (each thread has grabbed lock on an avg 85 times):

    Maybe I should make my application a Concurrent Data Store app as there is really only one thread doing the writes and reads. But I would like
    to understand why my process is spending so much time in locking.
    Can I try any other options? How do I prevent such heavy locking from happening? Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? Maybe this is
    all normal. I'm pretty new to using BDB.
    If there is a way to disable locking that would also work as there is only one thread that's really doing all the job.
    Should I disable the file system cache? One thing is that my application does not utilize cache very well as once I visit a key, I don't visit that
    key again for a very long time so its very possible that the key has to be read again from the disk.
    It is possible that I'm thinking this completely wrong and focussing too much on locking behavior and the problem is else where.
    Any thoughts/suggestions etc are welcome. Your help on this is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rama

    Hi,
    Looks like you're using BDB, not BDB JE, and this is the BDB JE forum. Could you please repost here?:

  • Oracle user account is getting locked frequently

    Hi everyone!!!
    I am using Oracle 11g on Linux . I have user named "XXX" to whom I have assigned a DEFAULT profile. The Password parameters in DEFAULT profile are as follow.
    Resource Name                                      Resource                                 Limit
    FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS                    PASSWORD                            20
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME                        PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME                      PASSWORD                           UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME                   PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX                   PASSWORD                             UNLIMITED
    I don't know why my user is getting locked continuously. Even i haven't reached Failed_login_attempts (20). Each time I require to unlock user account as SYS user and then I can connect as XXX user.
    And another thing that I want to know is when user account's status is set to LOCKED, EXPIRED, EXPIRED & LOCKED and LOCKED(TIME).
    Thanks & Regards
    Tushar Lapani

    Hi,
    can you tell me the exact db version?
    As explained in MOS notes:
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS shows LOCKED after FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS Is Breached (Doc ID 284344.1)
    How to Interpret the ACCOUNT_STATUS Column in DBA_USERS (Doc ID 260111.1)
    Expected behaviour is:
    1. Oracle release is <= 11.1.0.7.
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    2. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = unlimited:
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    3. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = <some fix value>
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    Note
    that 10.2.0.5 displays the same behavior as 11.2, because the fix that  changed the behavior in 11.2 was introduced in 10.2.0.5.
    So I suggest you to follow MOS note
    Finding the source of failed login attempts. (Doc ID 352389.1)
    to find who locked the account.

  • Patch 3480000 install - Failed worker because of GL locking

    I am in the process of installing Patch 3480000 (11.5.10.2) and during the running workers fail on sql scripts under the GL schema. Checking the log they are failing because the account is locked(timed), however if I unlock it and run again it locks the account again.
    All the other ones have been running as they should (I have had to reset a couple from EXPIRED(GRACE) to proceed however). Is the password saved incorrectly somewhere? If I change it does that hose things up for everything else or is there something else I can check for this?
    (glxlatxd.sql & glqtposd.sql are the two failing if it matters)
    Thanks

    If I drop the sequence and create it again with the higher values as they are trying to alter it to, I assume that would fix it however I also assume that it would mess up some number or something somewhere in the program which is of course bad.
    I have continued to search metalink and the internet and can not find anything relating to oracle patches and that error or that error and oracle app sever in general.
    I have logged an SR with Oracle but any advice that you (or anyone) have would be appreciated.
    This is the more complete error text
    The sequence PV_SEARCH_ATTR_VALUES_S in the database is defined as:
    MINVALUE = 1 MAXVALUE = 2000000000 INCREMENT BY = 1
    CYCLE = NO ORDER = NO CACHE = 20
    which should be defined as:
    MINVALUE = 10000 MAXVALUE = 2000000000 INCREMENT BY = 1
    CYCLE = YES ORDER = NO CACHE = 1000
    +(Note: The cache value for sequence PV_SEARCH_ATTR_VALUES_S is 100000 in the ODF file. The value 1000 is being used instead because this provides better performance when selecting from the sequence.)+
    Alter the sequence with :
    Start time for statement below is: Mon Jan 25 2010 14:47:32
    ALTER SEQUENCE PV.PV_SEARCH_ATTR_VALUES_S MINVALUE 10000 CYCLE CACHE 1000
    AD Worker error:
    The following ORACLE error:
    ORA-04007: MINVALUE cannot be made to exceed the current value
    occurred while executing the SQL statement:
    ALTER SEQUENCE PV.PV_SEARCH_ATTR_VALUES_S MINVALUE 10000 CYCLE CACHE 1000
    AD Worker error:
    Unable to compare or correct sequences
    +     because of the error above+
    Time when worker failed: Mon Jan 25 2010 14:47:32
    Thanks again

  • ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK/ibrary cache load lock leads to database hung

    (lowercase, curly brackets, no spaces)
    We faced database hung on 3 node 11i erp 9i rac database.
    We saw the library cache load lock timed out events reported in alert log.
    Then few ora-600 and later ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK timed out event. Eventually database was hung and we had to bounce the services .
    we created support sr 7845542.992 for RCA.
    The support says to increase shared pool size to avoid shared pool fragmentation and avoid reload ,additionaly to upgrade to 10g database.
    I am not covinced adding additional pool size would solve this or upgrade to 10 .furthermore even 10g has such issues reported.
    I saw couple of bugs mentioned such issue can happen due deadlock of session holding latches .
    kindly let me know your view on issue
    If required i can attach statspack for more information. (lowercase, curly brackets, no spaces)

    Many Thanks, i was keen to have your update .
    There are 8 cpus on each node . Reloads very high during time period ,but normally there are not high reloads.

  • Trigger on user account expire or lock?

    How to catch an event when some user account locks or expires soon?
    is there such trigger? (Oracle DB 11g R2)
    regards

    I would like to have mail notification when a user account locks--This will give you the count of how many user locked
    set head off
    spool count_locked.log
    select count(*) from dba_users where ACCOUNT_STATUS like '%LOCKED%';
    logg off
    set head on
    --Using unix commands, check if this log file has a value or it "no rows selected"
    --if there is a count , run a another sql which dispalys username and status and send thsi sql output to your mail id using mailx or sendmail
    By the way , there are many types of "LOCKED" status, which one you are looking for ??
    _"Locked" types_
    LOCKED
    EXPIRED(GRACE) & LOCKED(TIMED)
    EXPIRED(GRACE) & LOCKED

  • SYSTEM accounts gets locked

    Hello:
    I used the Database Configuration Assistant to create a new instance.
    However, the account SYSTEM gets locked. When I used EM as SYS, I see that it said "Locked/Timed" Why does this happen and how can prevent the account from getting locked?
    Thank you.
    Venkat

    Could you tell your environment, version of db.
    AS such, when you create your database on Oracle9i, most of the accounts are locked except sys and system and you do need to specify the password when installing oracle.
    Just unlock the account and log back in as SYSTEM and logout and log as sys then see if the SYSTEM account is locked again.

  • Timed out password

    Hello all,
    I have a database account that keeps getting locked. The enterprise manager simply lists the account as "Locked(timed)". This password was changed a while back, and I'm presuming an old process or service is still trying to use the old credentials to access the database. However, I can't determine which process might be the culprit...
    Is there a log available (or diagnostic setting) that will give me information on all the attempted login sessions for the database?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    I had also a took to this site: http://www.petefinnigan.com (famous for Oracle security topics) and I made the following with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0::
    1. Modify sure your database has audit enabled (audit_trail=DB in init.ora)
    2. Connect with sysdba privilges and run:
    audit create session by session;
    3. Try some failed attempts to your database instance
    4. You should see failed login attempts displayed by:
    select username, terminal, to_char(timestamp, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
    from dba_audit_session where returncode <> 0;

  • User locked, no lock date

    Anyone seen anything like this before?
    User is locked, but lock date is null
    SQL> select username, account_status, lock_date
      2  from dba_users
      3  where account_status like 'LOCK%';
    USERNAME             ACCOUNT_ST LOCK_DATE
    <snip other users>
    MYAPPUSER            LOCKED
    15 rows selected.Account has locked multiple times today. Notice status is simply LOCKED, not LOCKED(TIMED) as it would be if wrong password entered too many times.

    Maybe you have "Bug 9693615 LOCK_DATE is null in DBA_USERS after account gets locked automatically" for 10.2.0.5/11.2.0.1 ?
    Pierre,
    Interesting note on that bug. I took the work-around of changing the reuse_time to a value other than unlimited. Now the account is showing as LOCKED(TIMED) when it gets locked. We clearly have a problem in the app and I am working with the developers (they live on the other side of the country and work for a different organization) to resolve. My concern for this thread was simply the issue of an account LOCKED with no LOCKE_DATE. Never saw anything like that before.
    Thanks again for the lead. I posted to here just as I was heading out to lunch, planning on checking MetaLink when I got back. You saved me some search time weeding through a bunch of false hits.

  • Account lock from password_lock_time - Automatic unlock not working

    Oracle 11g database
    I have created a profile with password_lock_time = .01389 (20/1440), set up a test user, and set the user to the new profile. Then I logged in with an invalid password several times and verified from dba_users that the account_status = LOCKED (TIMED). The problem is that several hours later the account has still not unlocked. Am I missing a step or does 11g not allow a fraction to be used for the lock time?

    PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME can be specified in fraction;
    Tested in 11g and it works:
