Oracle 11R2 remote login as sysdba fails

Hello
i cant connect remotely as sysdba from client to server - oracle version SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0
the configuration is the following
orapwd file=orapwdTESTDB entries=30 password=mypassword force=y
on the init.ora i have the following
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
and while going to another server i keep getting the following error message
sqlplus sys/mypassword@testdb as sysdba

ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
What else im missing? i had this configuration in oracle 10G and worked fine
thanks

Did you ever get this to work? I'm having the same problem. If I remote to the server and log on directly as sys, I can do fine. If I try from my PC, I get the insuff priv error. I can connect to other databases fine from my PC, but not this particular one.
thanks,

Remote login in SM51 Fails / ECC 6.0 / HP-UX / Oracle 10

Hi All,
We had a cluster, 4 physical servers / 14 SAP Instances / HP-UX - Oracle 10G / ECC 6 EHP 3.
Basically we have a general RFC problem in the system. You can reproduce it simply in transaction sm51: In most of the instances whenever you try to change to an instance that has the same instance number than the one you are logged on at this moment, you will come back to this instance, e.g.:
you are logged on at host1_SID_01, start sm51 and try to change to the instances:
host2_SID_01,
host3_SID_01 or
host4_SID_01
(or you try to display the system log or other). You will see (System - Status) that you don't change to these instances but will stay on host1_SID_01.
We found the SAP Note 662895 - Remote login using SM51 Fails. In this note they refer to the error: "Transaction termination 14 025".
Now we have this error (we upgraded from SAP 46C with another error in sm21).
The problem is that we really donu2019t understand exactly what they want to do in the SAP Note 662895:
Summary
Symptom
Remote login in SM51 by double-clicking R/3 instances fails
Solution
You can use transaction SM51 to log in to another application server using RFC, without entering a password. Server "A"
Server "A"                                          Server "B"
        <--Remote logon via RFC   <--
GUI
      sm51
Double-click on the server B entry --->
If host name "B" was entered on server "A" as the gw/alternative_hostnames profile parameter, the local SAP gateway from server "A" is used when you log on to server "B". This results in the syslog message "Transaction termination 14 025".
The same error occurs if you try to open a new external mode on server "A".
Who is the origin server? Host A? Host B? In fact sometimes you can go from A to B and vice versa. So changing the gw/alternative_hostnames parameter doesn't appear to be a solution.
I would appreciate some tips about this Note / Problem.

Hello, thanks a lot for your replyes.
Abhijeet Siras, the command /etc/ping <host> works prefectly.
Sergo,
Exactly we have 3 host each one with 4 dialog instances. 1 host with 2 dialog instances and one host with the central instance.
Not all instances have this problem, only the following combination:
     Origin                     Destination
host4_SID_01    - >     host1_SID_01
host2_SID_03    - >      host3_SID_03
host1_SID_01    --> host3_SID_01
host1_SID_02   -->     host3_SID_02
host1_SID_03   -->     host3_SID_03
host1_SID_04   -->     host3_SID_04
host2_SID_01   -->     host3_SID_01
host2_SID_02 -->     host3_SID_02
host2_SID_03 -->     host3_SID_03
host2_SID_04 -->     host1_SID_04
host2_SID_04 -->     host3_SID_04
host3_SID_04 -->     host1_SID_04
host4_SID_01 -->     host1_SID_01
host4_SID_02 -->     host1_SID_02
host4_SID_02 -->     host2_SID_02
host4_SID_02 -->     host3_SID_02
The problem is between *_NUMBER to *_NUMBER!
For example from Dialog Instance 3 running on host 2 to Dialog Instance 3 running on host 3
For example host4_SID_01 means the Dialog Instance 1 running on host 4.

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

Sys login as sysdba fails in OEM

System: Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.2.0 with Oracle Database 10g Patch 10.1.0.4.0 on a SUN Solaris 9 SPARC machine.
Background:I've made a whole database backup and been trying to recover it back again. First i've tried that with RMAN but i didn't got all my data back in place.
Now i'm trying to run the recovery via the Enterprise manager. I create a job for it, my databases shuts down and I get the possibility to "perform recovery"
Problem:When i'm on the login page to continue with the recovery i have to fill in the Host Credentials and the Database Credentials as sysdba.
I know for sure that what i fill out in those fields is correct. The problem is that i can't login.
As Database Credentials do i fill in for username: sys and password: the correct paswd. It says that the Role = SYSDBA.
the error message: Unable to connect to the database.
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Neither can i log in with sys, password as sysdba via the Enterprise Manager when the database is up and running.
Things i've tried:login with sqlplus works fine
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"SQL> connect sys/<paswd> as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
Question:How can I solve the problem so i can log with sys users as sysdba with the Enterprise Manager?

Hi,
it's not a stupid question, are you really sure your password is correct? In your sqlplus session OS authentification is used, password is irrelevant (OEM does not use OS authentification). Try 'connect sys/abcxyz as sysdba' , it will work. There's a trick to check, if the password is correct.
Issue 'connect sys/<passwd>' (omit as sysdba). If you enter a correct password you will see ORA-28009 (SYS can only connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER) , otherwise you see ORA-01017 .
In the case of ORA-28009 (password IS correct) there seems to be something wrong with the password file or pfile/spfile:
- REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to NONE
- The password file does not exist
- The password supplied does not match the one in the password file
- The password file been changed since the instance was started
The password is located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, it can be recreated using orapwd utility, REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE should be set to EXCLUSIVE .

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();
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();
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.

Set password when login as oracle from db server / as sysdba

10.2.0.3.0
Hi, we have a linux db server and oracle user (group dba and oinstall) can login / as sysdba without giving any passwords.
i have created orapwd file and changed REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=exclusive in init.ora file but still, if someone is in the dba group he can connect without providing a password.
Can you please tell me how can i succeed for all OS users to be asked for password even if they belong to dba group?
thank you

The behavior you describe is normal and experted. By default members of the Oracle Home directory structure owner group can log on as sysdba and can avoid the need to use a valid password since sysdba users actually log in as user sys.
If you do not want to allow this then you should have installed Oracle with a group other than DBA such as oinstall and then not assigned any OS users to this group.

Could not login as sysdba after changing oracle sid

I am using Oracle 10g on Windows. I am getting errors while performing cloning of database from cold backup ( just for leaning purpose).
The problem is that when i set the ORACLE_SID=ORCL, then i can get login as sysdba but when i change the ORACLE_SID=clone, i get following error:
ERROR:

Also, I have created the password file using the following command:
orapwd file=D:\ORACLE\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\PWDclone.ora password=xxxx

If so, you need to choose the drop down box and set it to "SYSDBA".

Trying to remotely login to my sisters computer but failed

Hi All..
I am trying to remotely login to my Sisters computer located in India from U.S...
What we have done till now:
My sister has recently taken Internet connection in India and computer is connected via Modem and she could login to Modem and could find the Global IP address of their Internet connection.
I am able to ping their global ip address/modem ip address attached to their computer..Now how do i login to their computer? I have used VNC server,net meeting etc..but I believe there is something to do with their Internet provider or to do port forwarding(they do not have any router) or to add their local IP address in DMZ of Provider(but they do not have any DMZ options in their Modem settings or options)....
Can somebody please help me to remotely login to my sisters workstation...that would be of great help to us..

Hello..
My sister's global IP address(was found at::http://www.ip-adress.com/)...and used that so I believe it should be valid...
And since she has windows xp home edition Remote desktop is not supported...so we used vnc server, net meeting..still unable to login....can u guide me with this..

Error while login as sysdba for creating a new db

Hi DBAs,
i need to create a new database base, so trying to login as sysdba after exporting <ORACLE_SID> and <ORACLE_HOME> and getting the following error, need your help urgently.
SQL> conn / as sysdba
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program oracleDBDOC because of the following errors:0509-150 Dependent module /data/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/lib/libjox10.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.

I am not very sure about the error but it seems to some permission related error on oracle binaries. Can you check those permissions.
Have you created pwd file for db ?
Cheers

Is there a way to access remote login and screen sharing logs?

I have a very high suspicion that my macbook air has been accessed through remote login. Here's what happened. I closed my macbook air, letting it sleep, and left my house. After coming back I found it logged into the Guest account (which I didn't know was enabled). Remote login, Remote sharing and file sharing were enabled but I disabled them. I can't remember enabling them but maybe I did.
I am also on a local network with about 8 other devices connected. I looked through /private/var/log/system.log but couldn't find anything concrete. I have yet to log out of the guest account and have connected to another internet connection just to be on the safe side.
My other user account is passworded and I could switch back to it from guest.
So if my macbook was accessed through remote login, is there a way to tell from what IP address it came from?
Please help me get to the bottom of this.

I guess if it did happen it would have said so. Thanks anyway.

Problem in Running the Oracle Installer Remotely

Hi,
I installed the Oracle 10g on Enterprise Linux 4.5. The installer runs fine on the linux host successfully. And install the oracle software. Now I want to run Oracle installer remotely from my windows xp workstation but It is failing. Also I want to run DBCA remotely. But it also failed. Can anyone help me with this problem. On local linux machine every things works fine. I can run xclock as well locallay.
I need step by step instructions please. I am totally new in this.
I am using SSH connection to access my Linux box. ( I am using PuTTY ssh/telnet client).
Do I need to set any environment variable as linux user in my .bashrc file (Profile file). If so what is that.
Do I need to modify any file at Linux server for X forwarding. ( I am not at all familiar about X forwarding, how or when to configure it and why). If so what all things I need to do.
Any setting at my windows xp work station.
Any other recommended ssh/telnet client to use instead of PuTTY.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Hi Madrid,
According to your instructions I started vncserver at Linux box. Now from my windows workstation I want to connect to linux. Can you recommend a good vnc client. I google and saw mostly vnc software is for windows. I tried TightVNC Viewer but I dont not connecting to the linux server. Once I provide the IP for Linux server It is giving me the errors that it could not find any vncserver. On linux I am running the vncserver. From my windows box I can ping the Linux server.
Any help or recomendation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
