ORA-01031: Insufficient Privs with svrmgrl or DBA Studio. Didnt always happen!

Hi,
I'm running Oracle 816 EE on Win2k. All of a sudden, when I log in as svrmgrl and issue: connect internal, I get prompted for a password. I never had to enter a password before! Also, when logging into DBA Studio as system/manager with SYSBDA privs, I get ORA-01031 Insufficient Privs. I never got that error before. I used to be able to log in to DBA Studio and start/shutdown the DB just fine, but now I'm getting locked out for some reason. Aside from recreating a user schema from time to time, I didnt change any system-related info in the DB. Help!

check these things -
1) a full import of a database with remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive can cause this problem.
2) Check your sqlnet.ora file for SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES parameter. Try setting this to (NONE), if that doesn't work, try setting it to (NTS), and if that doesn't work, try commenting it out. A corrupted "sqlnet.ora" file, or one with security options set, will cause a 'connect internal' request to prompt for a password.
3) Also be sure you have AUTOMATIC_IPC=OFF in the file.
hope this helps

  • Getting ORA-01031: insufficient privileges with underlying code

    Any hlp welcome,
    I'm using this function to create user's
    CREATE OR REPLACE function create_user_from_asdb
    (p_user IN VARCHAR2,p_wachtwoord IN VARCHAR2) return VARCHAR2
    as
    sql_stmt VARCHAR2(100);
    v_message     VARCHAR2(2000);
    begin
    sql_stmt := 'create user :1 identified by :2 DEFAULT TABLESPACE :3 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE :4';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt USING p_user, p_wachtwoord,'TS_USER_DATA','GRP_TS_TEMP';
    v_message := 'Gebruiker '||p_user||' met wachtwoord '||p_wachtwoord||' aangemaakt';
    return v_message;
    exception
    WHEN OTHERS then
    v_message := sqlerrm;
    return v_message;
    end;
    But when run by SYSTEM (who ownes this function) I get the ORA-01031. Whats wrong here? The function will later be called through a dblink by a user on a different dbase.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi !
    It's not a good idea to grant CREATE USER privilege directly to a schema and to create a function to create user's, because anyone on your database who own the CREATE ANY PROCEDURE or EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE can also create users on your database. Issshhh !
    To solve this problem, you can add AUTHID CURRENT_USER to your function :
    CREATE OR REPLACE function create_user_from_asdb (p_user IN VARCHAR2,p_wachtwoord IN VARCHAR2) return VARCHAR2
    AUTHID CURRENT_USER
    as
    sql_stmt VARCHAR2(100);
    v_message VARCHAR2(2000);
    begin
    sql_stmt := 'create user :1 identified by :2 DEFAULT TABLESPACE :3 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE :4';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt USING p_user, p_wachtwoord,'TS_USER_DATA','GRP_TS_TEMP';
    v_message := 'Gebruiker '||p_user||' met wachtwoord '||p_wachtwoord||' aangemaakt';
    return v_message;
    exception
    WHEN OTHERS then
    v_message := sqlerrm;
    return v_message;
    end;
    With AUTHID CURRENT_USER, a stored procedure runs with the rights of the caller, not with the rights of the procedure's owner. So there's no need to grant system privilege to the owner...
    You only need to grant execute on your function and CREATE USER via a role or not to the users you want to be able to create users remotely (via dblink), or not.
    Hope it helps.

  • Execute immediate on DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL with error of ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    I want to mirror a schema to a existing schema by creating DDL and recreate on the other schema with same name.
    I wrote the code below:
    create or replace
    PROCEDURE                                    SCHEMA_A."MAI__DWHMIRROR"
    AS
    v_sqlstatement CLOB:='bos';
    str varchar2(3999);
    BEGIN
      select
        replace(
          replace(replace(
          replace(DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','XXXX','SCHEMA_A'),'(CLOB)',''),';','')
        ,'SCHEMA_A'
        ,'SCHEMA_B'
      into v_sqlstatement
      from dual;
      select  CAST(v_sqlstatement AS VARCHAR2(3999)) into str from dual;
      execute immediate ''||str;
    END;
    And Executing this block with below code:
    set serveroutput on
    begin
    SCHEMA_A.MAI__DWHMIRROR;
    end;
    But still getting the following error code:
    Error report:
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA_A.MAI__DWHMIRROR", line 47
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    01031. 00000 -  "insufficient privileges"
    *Cause:    An attempt was made to change the current username or password
               without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if
               attempting to install a database without the necessary operating
               system privileges.
               When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur
               if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label
               than the current login.
    *Action:   Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant
               the required privileges.
               For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the
               the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database
               administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.

    Hi,
           It solved after change permission of directory that sapdba_role.sql kept to oradev:dba after that it can write sapdba_role.log.
          Thank you for your guideline.
          Now, I can ran 'Check database' via DB13 without that error.
    Best regards,

    #Syntax: 3-256
    #Default: 10
    # Determines the initial number of messages allocated in the client's message

    Syntax: ADDR
    Default: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ONAMES))
    Address on which the client cache listens (is available to clients).
    Any valid TNS address is allowed. The default should be used if at
    all possible; clients have this entry hardwired as the first line
    of their server-list file (sdns.ora). If the address is set to a
    non-default value the client's preferred_servers parameter should
    be set to include the client-cache address first.
    names.authority_required = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    Determines whether system querys (for the root etc) require Authoritative
    answers.
    names.auto_refresh_expire = 259200
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 60-1209600
    Default: 259200
    This is the amount of time (in seconds) the server will cache the addresses
    of servers listed in server-list file (sdns.ora). When this time expires the
    server will issue another query to the servers in those regions to refresh
    the data.
    names.auto_refresh_retry = 180
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 60-3600
    Default: sec.     180

    names for the server to which forwards whould be directed, and ADDRESS is its
    address.
    names.default_forwarders_only = True
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    When set to true this server will use the servers listed in default_forwarders
    to forward all operations which involve data in foreign regions. Otherwise it
    will use the servers defined in the server-list file (sdns.ora) in addition
    to any defined in the default_forwarders parameter.
    names.log_directory = /oracle/network/log
    Syntax: directory

    Specifies the number of seconds between statistical entries in log file.
    names.log_unique = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    If set to true the server will guarantee that the log file will have a unique
    name which will not overwrite any existing files (note that log files are
    appended to, so log information will not be lost if log_unique is not true).
    names.max_open_connections = 10
    Syntax: 3-64
    Default: 10
    Specifies the number of connections that the Names Server can have open at any
    given time. The value is generated as the value 10 or the sum of one
    connection for listening, five for clients, plus one for each foreign domain
    defined in the local administrative region, whichever is greater. Any
    operation which requires the server to open a network connection will use
    an already open connection if it is available, or will open a connection
    if not. Higher settings will save time and cost network resources; lower
    settings save network resources, cost time.
    names.max_reforwards = 2
    Syntax: 1-15
    Default: 2
    The maximum number of times the server will attempt to forward a certain
    operation.
    names.message_pool_start_size = 24
    Syntax: 3-256
    Default: 10
    Determines the initial number of messages allocated in the server's message
    pool. This pool provides the server with pre-allocated messages to be used
    for incoming or outgoing messages (forwards). Messages which are in the pool
    and unused may be reused. If a message is needed and no free messages are
    available in the pool more will be allocated.
    names.no_modify_requests = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    If set to true, the server will refuse any operations which modify the
    data in its region (it will still save foreign info in the cache which is
    returned from foreign querys).
    names.password = 625926683431AA55
    Syntax: encrypted string
    Default: NULL
    If set the server will require that the user provide a password in his
    namesctl session (either with sqlnet.ora:namesctl.server_password or 'set
    password') in order to do 'sensitive' operations, like stop, restart, reload.
    This parameter is generally set in encrypted form, so it can not be set
    manually.
    names.reset_stats_interval = 3600
    Syntax: 10-ub4max
    Default: 0 (off)
    Specifies the number of seconds during which the statistics collected by the
    Names Servers should accumulate. At the frequency specified, they are reset
    to zero. The default value of 0 means never reset statistics.

    Hi,
    Have you create the orapw file in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs with orapwd ?
    example :
    orapwd file=${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/orapw${ORACLE_SID} password=change_on_install entries=40
    Then the unix user oracle will be create in the orapw${ORACLE_SID} file
    after if you want to create another user :
    grant sysdba to TOTO; the unix user TOTO could do : connect / as sysdba

  • Resolving problem with ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    hello i just to write a few word about my installation of oracle database 9i
    My installation is on a Red Hat AS3
    I have a problem with the error :ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    The one who read this know what about i tell.
    The authorization is only for the user which Group is DBA as you can read everywhere.
    but me when i tried groupadd dba => it tells group already exist.
    but i can't find the group dba in the file /etc/group.
    So i tried to make my user 'oracle' works with the 'already group exist' dba .
    useradd -g dba oracle
    but when i tried to start the database i create i have the message. : ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    i tried to add manualy the group dba to /etc/group (as i can read in websites)
    and add a user manualy (/etc/passwd).
    But does works.
    I try all i can during 1 days long.
    I was really upset because nothing that i read work.
    finaly I go to the RedHat Menu (things i don't really do normaly on LINUX) and go to 'SYSTEM SETTINGS' and choose 'User and Group'
    Here i can see my user 'Oracle' I get the property of the user .
    there is a tab group ( 'select the group that the user will be member of:')
    None of them where name DBA so i decidied to select all of them and tried.
    MAGIC!!! then it works!!!
    ps: after when i see the list of the group I saw that one of them is named 'SYS' . I really think that it is the one group i had to select. but don't know.
    Now It is working for me so... And good luck for you. bye.

    Errors
    ORA-01031 "insufficient privileges"
    Symptoms
    During database upgrade phase using DBUA , it fails with error
    ORA-1031 Insufficient privileges
    Connection from sqlplus also fails with same error
    $ sqlplus /nolog
    SQLPLUS "conn / as sysdba"
    ORA-1031 Insufficient privileges
    Changing the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to SHARED / NONE does not make differen
    Cause
    ORACLE_HOME owner oramigts is part of OS group "dba" ,but config.s shows group "g680"
    The 'OSDBA' and 'OSOPER' groups are chosen at installation time and usually both default to the group 'dba'.
    These groups are compiled into the 'oracle' executable and so are the same for all databases running from a given ORACLE_HOME directory.
    The actual groups being used for OSDBA and OSOPER can be checked thus:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
    cat config.[cs]
    Solution
    To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    1. Checked the ORACLE_HOME owner.
    echo $ORACLE_HOME
    /h02/app/oracle/product/9.2.0_64
    cd / h02/app/oracle/product/
    ls -l
    drwxr-xr-x 58 oramigts dba 1024 Jan 2 2004 9.2.0_64
    2.ORACLE_HOME software owner "oramigts" is part of group "dba"
    3.Checked file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.s
    [If your platform has config.c:
    Due to the way different compilers under different architectures generate
    assembler code, it's not possible to give a universal rule.]
    It shows dba group as "g680" where software owner is part of "dba" group
    You can more find detail on config.s / config.c in the following doc.
    Note 50507.1 SYSDBA and SYSOPER Privileges in Oracle
    4. Modified the config.s for correct group.
    .ascii "g680\0"
    to
    .ascii "dba\0"
    7. mv config.o config.o.bak
    8. make -f ins_rdbms.mk config.o ioracle
    9. Checked the file config.o is created at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
    10. Connected / as sysdba thru Sqlplus from 9.2 Home, which connected sucessfully.

  • Fail to logon with SYS user: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    Hello,
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
    TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    OS: CentOS 5.5
    I fail to log on with SYS user through PL/SQL Developer. I receive the error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. PL/SQL Developer is installed on Windows 7 Professional. Oracle Client Version is 11.2.0.1.0. However I logon successfully with SYSMAN and SYSTEM.
    For those who might ask whether I try to connect "as sysdba" when I use SYS user, the answer is YES, I do.
    Besides I think the name of the tool (PL/SQL Developer) doesn't matter because I think I'll face the same error with any other tool (but I mentioned it just in case).
    On server side I have no issues with SYS user. I can connect through SQLPlus with connect / as sysdba or connect "/as sysdba" faultlessly.
    The initialization parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon is set to FALSE
    SQL> show parameter sensi
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    sec_case_sensitive_logon boolean FALSE
    I'm using local naming to connect and on client side I've a tnanames.ora file. The sqlnet.ora file looks like this:
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)I read in this forum (another thread) about using a password file. I created a password file using orapwd this way:
    orapwd file=orapwDB11G2 entries=100 ignorecase=y password=a_passwordwhere I replaced "a_password" with the SYS password.
    Actually I'm not sure the client is influenced by the password file anyway because I tell it to use local naming.
    Any clues?
    Thank you very much!

    I start up the instance using the spfile.As a side observation, it appears you have two control files also in this directory. That is risky, and goes against the intent of having multiplexed the control file. Ideally they would be on separate disk devices - including separate controllers, but at the very least they should be in directories that are separate all the way back to the root directory. If you can't protect against hardware failure, at least protect against human failure.

    Hi,
    i dont think is due to authorization issue. There's a different between "FULL" and "WHOLE" database online backup.
    Full database backup : Will backup all the databasee files (Inclusing datafiles, online redolog files and the control files) and do the catalog. So that we can use this as the referance backup and we can do the incremental backup.
    Whole database backup : Will backup all the databasee files (Inclusing datafiles, online redolog files and the control files). We can't use this for the incremental backup.
    As you see from the log, full database online backup is calling RMAN. FYI, backup your system with "Whole" is equally good unless you want to to use incremental backup.
    Thanks,
    Nicholas Chang

  • All scheduled jobs started suddenly to fail with ORA-01031: insufficient pr

    I have a setup of gridcontrol 11g on windows 2008. I've been running successful for weeks until the other day when all my scheduled jobs started to fail with
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (rman jobs)
    ERROR: Invalid username and/or password (sql scripts).
    I verified for the accounts being locked, pw correct, expired / grace period, etc.
    all good when I try from the command line. running an rman backup from the command line works great, but the same one through the job scheduler fails with ORA-01031.
    I've dropped the jobs completely, recreated them again. same thing.
    I'm using preferred credentials and dropped and recreated them. same thing.
    I don't know where else to look. Only grid control scheduled jobs fail, but all of them do.
    I'm using SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) in my sql.ne (always have).
    we use a windows domain server / domain authentication for logging into boxes. I haven't changed any of my passwords.
    I am probably looking in the wrong places. Anybody able to help?

    Hi,
    ERROR: Invalid username and/or password (sql scripts).This error message clearly tells that password is incorrect and "insufficient privileges" shows that perhaps you are using SYS user for running the jobs and password for user SYS is incorrect.
    If you are specifying passwords in your scripts, i don't think you need to set preferred credentials.
    Try following
    1) Remove preferred credentials
    2) Don't check password of user sys by locally logging in (because if Os authentication is on, even wrong password will allow you loging into the database and you will think that password is correct). Try connecting database using SYS user from a remote machine and check whether it accepts your password and make sure you have same password for your jobs and in sql scripts
    3) If still problem, just for test, remove SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) and try

    Hi I installed 10g with APEX 2.1 and started working on an app. I had the privs needed to do all DDL.
    I updated to 3.0.1 (not 3.1 because my work won't go to 3.1 yet)
    I started working on the app not problem with DML but I tried to create a function and found ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    Did I miss running a script after the install? Is there a POST install?

  • Ora-01031: Insufficient Privileges error during 10g install on Suse 9.1

    I have tried installing Oracle 10g on Suse 9.1 Professional several times. Although I have tried to carefully follow the instructions in the installation guide, I get the following error.
    When the Database Configuration Assistant start during the initial installation, I receive the error -> Ora-01031: Insufficient Privileges.
    I created the oinstall and dba group according to the installation guide and made oracle a member with oinstall being the primary group. I also ran -> chown -R oracle:oinstall -> on the Oracle_Base folder to which I want to install the software and oradata files. Similarly, I ran -> chmod -R 775 -> on that folder. During the install I ran the script -> oracle_base/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh -> during the installation when prompted.
    I would really appreciate any help that any of you could provide. Thank you so much in advance.
    -Daniel

    I'm logged in as oracle when I perform the installation but as soon as the database configuration assistant tries to create the database I get this error. I had made oracle a member of oinstall and dba just as it was desribed in the instructions. (At one point I even tried giving oracle root, which didn't seem to work either. I have since reinstalled the OS.)
    Thank you for helping me with this!

    I created the oinstall and dba group according to the installation guide and made oracle a member with oinstall being the primary group. I also ran -> chown -R oracle:oinstall -> on the Oracle_Base folder to which I want to install the software and oradata files. Similarly, I ran -> chmod -R 775 -> on that folder. During the install I ran the script -> oracle_base/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh -> during the installation when prompted.
    I would really appreciate any help that any of you could provide. Thank you so much in advance.

    I'm logged in as oracle when I perform the installation but as soon as the database configuration assistant tries to create the database I get this error. I had made oracle a member of oinstall and dba just as it was desribed in the instructions. (At one point I even tried giving oracle root, which didn't seem to work either. I have since reinstalled the OS.)
    Thank you for helping me with this!
