Only able to login as sysdba?

I just installed 11g2 on Redhat 5. I logged in using sqlplus as follows:
$sqlplus sys/abcabc as sysdba
I created a user as follows:
sqlplus> create user "xyz"
profile "DEFAULT"
identified by "abcabc"
default tablespace "MYTAB"
temporary tablespace "TEMP"
account unlock;
sqlplus> grant dba to "xyz"
sqlplus> commit;
sqlplus reported user created and dba granted. No errors were repored by sqlplus.
Now when I try to login as follows:
$sqlplus xyz/abcabc
I get a login prompt again and after 3 retries, I'm kicked out.
BUT, if I login as follows:
$sqlplus xyz/abcabc as sysdba
I get logged in.
What could be the problem? I've followed the exact same procedure for creating a user many times before and it always worked. What is different this time that I need to login as sysdba?
Thanks

  • Login as sysdba for patch R12 problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to apply the patch 12.0.3 for R12.
    On of the items is to run a script under a SYSDBA user, however I am not able to login as Sysdba, also not the sys user.
    The scripts :
    SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
    no rows selected
    Seems that my passwordfile is missing ?
    Running orapwd gives me the following result :
    [root@linux12 bin]# ./orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw password=manager entries=30
    Unable to find error file.
    Anybody can help me ?

  • How to enable only a subset of LDAP users to be able to login to OBIEE

    We have enabled LDAP authentication. Now every single LDAP user can login to Presentation server. That is an issue. Not all LDAP users are OBIEE users. Only a small subset of the LDAP users should be able to access OBIEE. We have a database table that lists all OBIEE users. This table however does not have user password information. User Password information is stored in the LDAP.
    so question is how do we limit OBIEE access to only OBIEE users and not all LDAP users.
    Thank you

    Thanks for your suggestion. If i understand it correctly, user will still be able to login to Presentation server but will not have access to any content using your solution approach. Did i get it right?
    In my current setup, user gets authenticated against LDAP, then i extract user group for that user and assign it to GROUP. Only those users gets assigned to GROUP who have access to OBIEE. We have secured RPD and Catalogs so that user must be a member of at least one GROUP to be able to access content.
    Right now, a LDAP user who is not present in OBIEE user table, is able to login to BI Presentation server but is not able to see any thing. Because user gets authenticated, but does not have any authorization rights. So far so good.
    I would like to take next step, where use login to BI Presentation server is denied if user id does not exist in the OBIEE user table ( but exists in the LDAP).
    Thank you

  • Login as sysdba problem...

    Hi,
    I've created my own database to make tests on Oracle and directly after that I've changed the passwords for all the users (sys and system users included).
    When I try to login without the sysdba role, Oracle applies the password verification fine.
    The problem is when I try to login as sysdba:
    $> sqlplus 'sys as sysdba'
    I can enter whatever password I want and I'm connected !!!
    And it's the same if first I type:

    What's the OS? Are you signed on to the OS as a user in > the DBA group?I'm using a Debian 3.0 (Woody) operating system with a Linux 2.4.18 kernel
    I've got only one user which is a member of the DBA group and what I experienced, It's true, was only when I was logged as this user...
    Does it means that when a user is a member of the DBA group on the operating system, even if the remote_os_authent parameter is set to false, he can login with sys as sysdba as he wants trough sqlplus ?

  • Issue encountered when Login as sysdba role using Thin Oracle JDBC Driver

    Hello all,
    we are now considering to use Thin oracle JDBC driver to create database in our project, but we met one issue when we tried to connect to oracle as sysdba role using Thin driver, and it throws java.sql.SQLException: Io Exception: SO Exception was generated, I have found some tips on oracle jdbc website and it says :
    How do I connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?
    The only way to do this is to use the Properties object when connecting, rather than specifying the username and password as strings. Put the username into the "user" property, and the password into the "password" property. Then, put the mode into the "internal_logon" property. Something like the following:
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("user", "scott");
    props.put("password", "tiger");
    props.put("internal_logon", "sysoper");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
    When connecting as SYSDBA or SYSOPER using the Thin driver, the RDBMS must be configured to use a password file. See "Creating and Maintaining a Password File" in the "Oracle Database Administrator's Guide".
    So, i did execute orapwd command to create a password file and also set remote_login_passwordfile=execlusive in my initxxx.ora initial parameter file, however, when i tried to connect, it failed.
    private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
    StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
    sqlStatement.append("create database xxx");
    sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
    sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
    sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
    try {
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("user", "sys");
    props.put("password", "password");
    props.put("database","xxx");
    props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
    Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
    statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
    statement.close();
    conn.close();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    But what made me puzzled a lot is if i use OCI driver, it did work great, why??? guys, anybody knows, please give me some tips, thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Kaixuan @ Shanghai

    clarify my question in detail:
    Step 1 : create password file using orapwd command
    Step 2 : create database instance using oradim command
    Step 3 : login using sys as sysdba to startup database, e.g startup nomount pfile='...\initxxx.ora'
    Step 4 : create database.
    java code showing below:
    private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
    StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();

    } catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    issue was met here, when i tried to login as sysdba using sys, and in my java code, i use Thin driver, it then thrus exception, but when OCI driver is used, it works great, i don't know why.
    that is, when i use "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it works great. but, when i use "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it failed. hopefully, i have clarified my question clearly. thanks.

    Hi,
    i found a similar problem when we changed the sys password of a living instance of Oracle. First of all, check that the password you are typing is correct (with the pwDBNAME file). Toad saved the password? If you can see an error message restarting the db if you have a problem on this file. If you can perform all test on teh server avoiding to use the server string but just setting the SID. Are you sure that the server string points to the right db?
    Hope this helps

    Please help.I am using a desktop and logged in as an administrator.I think we are missing some information here. Are you trying to connect via Server Explorer?
    If so, you need to choose the drop down box and set it to "SYSDBA".
