Oracle Passwords CASE Sensitive

My Oracle 9i DB is not CASE sensitive on my passwords. I can not find any info on what parameter I can change to make it case sensitive.
All documents I find on net tell me that Oracle is CASE sensitive by default why are my passwords not?
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
David Miller

The topic they are typically were talking about being case sensitive is data insdie oracle db...
Also saw discussiona on use of " " (double quotes) on the ALTER USER command and password to make it specific to case.. Not sure where that came from at all...

Oracle 11G password case sensitive option is not working.

Hello,
I am facing problem in Oracle 11G. I installed and created a database. I disabled password case sensitive option by setting it to false (Pls see the below output). but case sensitive option is not disabled and i am not able to logon using the lower case password.
SQL> connect sys/<pwd in lower case>@<connect string> as sysdba;
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
SQL> connect sys/<pwd in uppper case>@<connect string> as sysdba;
Connected.

Any idea.... should i open the case in the metalink ?

Can you execute:
SQL> select USERNAME, PASSWORD_VERSIONS from dba_users where username = 'SYS';Have you tried reseting the sys password? When you create the password file by default the passwords stored on it are case sensitive, maybe you also need to rebuild it...

User Password case sensitivity issue.

Hi,
I have been migrated users from EBS to OID, but having some issues like some existing users password in EBS are in Capital letters but when they connect with SSO the same password not accepted, but users can connect same password in small letters.
How I can solve this issue????????
Senario:
1: Existing EBS User:(Before integration of OID+SSO), users are directly connecting with EBS.
User Name: HINA.SARWAR-----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: ABCDEF -----------( Case sensitive)
2: Existing EBS User:(After integration of OID+SSO), user are connecting via SSO.
Eexpected behavior is that users should logon with above pass "ABCDEF", but they cannot.
eg:-
Cannot connect as:
User Name: HINA.SARWAR -----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: ABCDEF -----------( Case sensitive)
Can connect as:
User Name: HINA.SARWAR -----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: abcdef -----------( Case sensitive)
thx

Making user account logins/passwords case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make user account login/passwords be case sensitive? At the moment they are case insensitive.
Thanks :)

You can make only user account login case sensitive but not password.

User created.
SQL> grant create session to "Test";
Grant succeeded.

Problem in XI - JDBC (oracle) Scenario, case sensitive column name

I had a XI -> JDBC scenario, connecting to a SQL server, where the query was being generated using Message Mapping (XML SQL Format),
now the database has been migrated from SQL server to Oracle, and we are using the same XI scenario, but now the problem is, the query generated using message mapping doesnt work because it seems the query (UPDATE statement) requires the field name as having All capital letters, i mean the Column name in query to Oracle has become case sensitive,
can u help me out

Hi
Oracle doesnt have restriction that Query has to be in uppercase for any column. But it is good go use Upper case for the Query.
Use oracle editor to do the query if it is working fine and then use XML SQL in XI
Check this thread SAP has given some
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/68a541a1166153e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Check FAQ on the JDBC adapter, see SAP Note 831162

Oracle is Case Sensitive, can we change this.?

Hi all,
As Oracle Data is a Case sensitive.
but i want to know that,
is there any way to change this ?
that is , the data should not be a case sensitive.
select * from emp where ename = 'smith';
Even the SMITH is in caps. it should return that records for the above query.
Thanks.
GowriShankar.N

As a one off for queries you can use the UPPER and LOWER functions, ie;
select * from emp where LOWER(ename) = 'smith';

Case sensitive variabe

Hi,
I am using a variable and in my PL/SQl function/procedure .But the problem i face is the variable is being converted into UPPER CASE Automatically.i have to retain the case of my string.I can't use to_upper or to_lower or NLS_UPPER or NLS_LOWER.Because
if my string is PRaMOd
by Default it takes PRAMOD
if i use NLS_LOWER its pramod.
I want PRaMOd as it is.
Is there any way to get that right.
Thanks,
Pramod

Hi,
Oracle strongly recommends that you not use quotation marks to make usernames and passwords case sensitive
But if you like...you can use quoted identifiers:

Making user account logins case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make a user account login name case sensitive? Currently I can log on using upper or lower case for the login name however I would rather only the exact login name could be used.
Thanks

Case-sensitive passwords in 11g

Hello,
This is a rather silly post, but I've been Googling and can't find whether SQL Developer supports case-sensitive login or not. I've read that some other clients always send an "uppercase" password (no matter how you typed it) which causes problems with Oracle 11g. Is SQL-Developer "compatible" with the new 11g case-sensitive policy?
Thank you.

Yes SQL Developer is definitely compatible with 11g case insensitive password.

Can i make the database passwords non case-sensitive ??

Can i make the database passwords non case-sensitive ??

Yes: set instance parameter SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON to FALSE ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17110/initparams220.htm#I1010299).

Upon upgrade to 11.2 , will passwords become case sensitive automatically ?

Os : Solaris 10
We are upgrading from version 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3 ? Will the user passwords become case sensitive automatically after the upgrade ?

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/afterup.htm#UPGRD12434
Passwords for accounts created after the upgrade are automatically case sensitive.

Case sensitivity in 11g passwords

Hi.
I read that passwords are now "case sensitive" in 11g. Really? I checked below, then I changed the password:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> show parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon;
NAME TYPE VALUE
sec_case_sensitive_logon boolean TRUE
SQL> alter user sys identified by TINA;
User altered.
SQL> exit
I try to connect using different case:
sqlplus sys/tINna@orcl as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Sat Dec 19 16:28:43 2009

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
I am a little confused as to how I can connect when I changes the case.
Or do i misunderstand "case-sensitivity"
Thanks

Hello,
In fact it depends on the value of the parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon. You can check its value as follow :
SHOW PARAMETER SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGONAnd change it as you want:
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = TRUE;More over, you should check the password version 10g or 11g:
SELECT username, password_versions FROM dba_users;A 10g password is case-insensitive even when case-sensitivity is enabled.
And also it depends on your password file. If it was created with ignorecase=y you'll have
to recreate it:
orapwd file={color:red}orapw_filename{color} entries=100 ignorecase=n password={color:red}password{color}You can find on the following link some information about how to enable case-sensitivity:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/authentication.htm#DBSEG3225]
Hope it can help.
Best regards,

Network diagnostics is not accepting the WEP password on my wireless router. I know the password is case sensitive and was very careful in entering it but it still gives me the "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network" error message.

I need help setting up the wireless router for my iMac. I did not know the WEP password when I first turned it on to set things up. Now that I know the WEP password I cant get Network Diagnostics to accept it. I know it is case sensitive and was very careful when I entered the password. What should I do?

Hi, unfortunately WEP is about as secure as a bar of gold lent to a Gang Den! It can be broken in under 30 seconds these days!
If the PW is ASCII, try enclosing it in qoute marks, if Hex try preceding it with the & or % sign.
Also, is the Router set to only allow connect ion to MAC addies of the Interface?

Case-sensitive values in an Tabular Model with a Oracle Datasource

Hi,Lets use an Oracle Database as Datasource for my Project. I use a "Select distinct ColumnA from Table" to build up a LookupTable in my Tabular Model. But it returns Dublicates!! eg:
When I fire the query from Oracle SQL Developer I got 2 Records "1N" and "1n". In the Grid View in SSDT I see 2 times "1N". ??
Collation Case Sensitive. OK, but how to solve that?
KR

Hi KR,
According to your description, you encounter the case-sensitive issue when creating SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model project, right?
Based on my research, Tabular models have the insensitivity problem by default. The workaround for this issue is creating a empty tabular model in tabular server using the xmla below and import the tabular in SSDT.

Hibernate for lower case data(case sensitive) in oracle 10G

Hi,
I generated my data (oracle 10G release 2) using lowercase data types and table names. This requires queries in the strict form of -
Select "Column_Name" from "Table_name";
But Hibernate makes the queries as -
Select Column_Name from Table_Name;
driver I am using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Jar is ojdbc14
and dialect is org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
The problem is:
table or view does not exist.
as it(lower case data) does not recognize the hibernate query format.
Can anyone suggest the proper driver and Jar to overcome the problem.
Regards,
Ankit

Ankit,
Just bite the bullet and don't use case-sensitive identifiers :-)
I don't use "hibernate", but maybe you can add the double-quotes -- " -- in the XML file?
I don't think there's a JDBC driver that adds the double-quotes for you. So I think your only option (if you insist on using case-sensistive identifiers) is to explore possibilities through "hibernate" itself.
I also don't think there's any database setting that allows Oracle to accept case-sensitive identifiers.
Good Luck,
Avi.
