Oracle RAC listener password

Hi Guys,
We have 2 node RAC setup oracle 10g(10.2.0.4) and we wish to set password on listener which registered with CRS.
Can some one please guide how can we set password on listenet thts registered with CRS.
What would be the impact if any....
Help is appreciated.

Oracle RAC listener password protection

Dear Gurus,
We have 2 node RAC setup 11gR2 and as a part of hardening we wish to set password for listener.
Can some one please guide how can we set password on listener that registered with CRS. What would be the impact if any?
Also, there are two things with which should be noted.
1) We are not using SCAN feature.
2) Listener created should be owned by oracle user but all listener are getting started by Grid.

Thanks for your reply Vlethakula.
When firing command from GRID/ASM home, it says service not available where as status is available from oracle home. While stopping listener from oracle home it gives TNS-01190 error.

Oracle TNS Listener password

Where do I specify the tns listener password in CF MX. I have
added a password to the oracle TNS listener service. I need to get
MX to pass this password to the oracle server. Is there a place to
do this.
cfk

Here is what I was given from our security group here at
USDOJ:
We are using 9i,
Server Product ColdFusion MX
Version 7,0,2,142559
Edition Enterprise
Serial Number
Operating System Windows 2003
OS Version 5.2
Description:
A Oracle TNS Listener has been detected on the host with
login security disabled (SECURITY=OFF).
Observation:
Oracle is an enterprise level database which is available on
many different platforms.
A configuration vulnerability exists within the Oracle TNS
Listener which allows remote unauthenticated access. The TNS
Listener accepts a clients request and establishes a TNS
(Transparent Network Substrate) data connection between the client
and the service. A TNS connection allows clients and servers to
communicate over a network via a common API, regardless of the
network protocol used on either end (TCP/IP, IPX, etc). A default
installation of the TNS listens on TCP port 1521.
Vulnerable Systems:
Oracle 8i
Oracle 9i
Recommendation:
It is recommended to only allow certain IP's or subnet ranges
to access the TNS listener. This can be done by adding a rule in
the firewall. We also recommend that you enable a password for the
TNS listener within Oracle

Setting an Oracle TNS Listener password

Im trying to enable a TNS Listener password on a database that I am monitoring through UNIX.
I have tried set current_listener, but lsnrctl only recognizes the listener on my machine.
Do I have to find the machine (remotely or not) where the listener is configured?
Each time I try, I get TNS-01101 error : could not service name
(I have already doen this successfully on my own machine, but I have to do the same for one of the databases in our firm)
Thanks.

This error means that the service name could not be resolved by name-lookup. Verify the listener.ora is properly configured, check the name and address defined either in listener.ora or in the tnsnames.ora file.
I suggest you this reference Configuring Password Listener Authentication

Advice on Oracle RAC Listener Set up

Hi Forum
I am installing two databases on a 2 node RAC environment.
We have the SCAN setup which is listening on port 1521
I want the two databases I create to have seperate listener ports
i.e.
database1 to listen on port 1531
database2 to listen on port 1532
We are using GRID 11.2.0.3 and same for databases
Is there a best practice / process that I can follow to do this?
Thanks in advance.

The best practice is to have common SCAN listener (since it already have redundancy) and you are free to choose local port for each database or share the same port (default configuration). You can always change the ports even after default installation so nothing to worry here. Just make sure to decide on SCAN early before giving out to users since anything after SCAN is transparent to users but SCAN port must be advised in advance.

Adding Standalone listener Oracle RAC

Dear Experts
We have oracle RAC setup on in our organization, now we also need to do streaming between our RAC server and another oracle server for public reports. We installed another network interface card on of our Oracle RAC server and connect it directly to other server but we are not able to add listener for that interfaces. I did manually entered listener configuration in "listener.ora" and added it also in CRS using "srvctl add listener". Srvctl start listener properly but when i check the status of listener using "lsnrctl status <listener_name> than it shows that listener do not support any services.
Your help will really be appreciate.

Dear P
Thanks for prompt reply. My listener for RAC is working fine, but standalone listener for one node on specific interface is not working. However i have added the listener using "srvctl add listener" command and it also start successfully but it does not support any service. See below the output of lsnrctl status.

Trying to change Oracle listener port 1521 to nodefault port on Oracle RAC

Could somebody please help me in the process of changing teh Oracle listener port 1521 to a non-default port on an Oracle RAC environment. I am total of four instance.
Regards.

Please read carefully about LOCAL_LISTENER parameter, you shouldn't put there just hostname....
Another way to do so - statically register database SID in listener. You should do it in listener.ora file, please read carefully documentation, otherwise you can use netca utility - it could make configuration for you properly.

Setting up Listener Password for Oracle 9.2.0.7

I am looking for information on configuration needed for "stopsap" when password is set up for the 9i listener.

Hi Inho,
When a listener password is set, you don't need a special configuration to start/stop sap.
The password is to protect the listener operation, not the connection to it.
It's started with the ora<sid> user before the sap instance starts, and stopped after it stops.
Regards,
JC Llanes.

Setting listener password in oracle 8i

i have some very old windows databases that are 8.1.0.7. I am not able to upgrade these.
I am trying to set a password.
1. go to command line
2. lsnrctl
3. set password <password>
LSNRCTL> set password l1stener1$
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> save_config
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(

No changes to save for LISTENER.
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL>Why does it say nothing to save?
3. When I type status
I get: Security: off
How do I verify that there is a password? I can't turn the listener off. Its a production database.
When I look in my listener.ora file, it does not appear to be getting updated with a password?
Edited by: Guess2 on Sep 30, 2009 12:20 PM

First: Always test in a test environment before doing it in production.
Next: If you are very brief, you can stop and restart the listener without interupting service.
The only people who might be affected would be someone who happened to be attempting to connect at the split second your listener is down. Otherwise, existing connections should not be impacted. But, do NOT do this in production (never, ever, ever). Got it?
Finally, if you have set the password, changed the password, and saved your configuration, you should be able to look into your listener.ora file and see the password setting. It should look something like:
#----ADDED BY TNSLSNR 30-SEP-2009 15:41:13---
PASSWORDS_LISTENER = 9BD20802761D432E
There are numerous sites discussing listener passwords.
Do a search on "lsnrctl set password"
Hope that helps...

How connect to oracle RAC via the RSG using port forwarding

Hi all,
I got a problem trying to connect to oracle RAC via the RSG using port forwarding .
on command line i sue to connect :
sqlplus 'username/password@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=firstRACnode)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=secondRACnode)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MSDP)))'
but when using port forwarding i forward the port 1521 to a local port and make ssh to the DB node ( as normal with other nodes but not RAC) but it never work with me for this situation
can any one give me a help ifthere is any changes should be done on the server side , or if any one faced such a problem and found a solution
Thanks,
Prathap.

Step 1
Create a ssh tunnel from local machine to remote db server. Forward any local port (should not be a well known port or a port in the private/dynamic port range) to connect to the database server's listener port. If the ssh tunnel is into the db server itself, the connection (port forwarding) can be on localhost (as the Listener should be listening on it). Alternatively use a public IP of that db server.
Example (using OpenSSH on Ubuntu 9.4):
Local server port 1527 tunneled to port 1521 on database server 192.168.0.100 using o/s account johnd (we connect to port 1521 on db server via 127.0.0.1):
ssh -X -f -N -o ServerAliveInterval=3 -L 1527:127.0.0.1:1521 [email protected]
Step 2
Run sqlplus and connect to the local fowarded port on localhost, using the applicable connection settings (e.g SID/Service Name, etc).
sqlplus scott/tiger@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1527)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl) (SERVER=dedicated)))"Note that the Listener must not hand our connection off - as the case would be when using RAC for example and connecting via a Service Name and not a SID. We need the Listener that accepts our connection to immediately hand us over to the database instance (via either a dedicated server or a shared server dispatcher process).

Error in ONS logs while implmenting FCF on oracle RAC from java program

I have java prog on client machine that uses properties from a property file.While making the connection to the ONS port on the oracle RAC server to implement FCF the program is throwing error as below:

How to configure sun application server 8.2 for Oracle RAC 10g

Hello,
We have numerous boxes running the sun platform application server 8.2 and 2 boxes running enterprise version 8.2 all connecting to a 4 node Oracle RAC 10 G release 2 database. We have the system up and working. The application servers are connecting just fine to the database and the apps don't have any problems querying, inserting, etc. However, when we try to do failover testing of situations when a node or nodes of the Oracle RAC database goes down the application server does not gain new valid connections. Our configuration is this, OracleDataSource for the data source, table validation turned on with a valid table, ONS configuration set in properties, connectionCache enabled, and fastconnectionfailover enabled as well in the properties. We have that long oracle rac url with load balancing turned on set fot the database URL. We have the checkbox checked to fail all connections on any failure. ONS is configured properly within the database because we have a java application that runs outside of the application server that uses all the same settings described above (only set manually in our code for the OracleDataSource). This application works seemlessly when DB nodes are shutdown. We can shutdown all but one node and it's still humming along without skipping a beat. Start up one of the others, kill the last node, it still hums along nicely without skipping a beat. We'd really like to get the applications running in the application server to work the same way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We've tried all the combinations that we can think of with configuration settings in the application server and it never works. Am tempted to rip out the database connection pool from inside the application server and configure it manually in the code but we are using entity beans and this is the much easier approach, if it will work. It's down to the point of does sun application server actually work with oracle RAC for connection failovers.

Hi,
We are also facing similar execption. Here is the error, we are getting, when a node is failed on RAC.

Hello,
The errors you are receiving are typically a result of not following our published MOS note and our documentation. It’s important in order for Oracle E-Business Suite systems to be properly recognized by E-Business Suite Plug-in, AutoConfig must be enabled and updated on all nodes. You should prevalidate your system before the running discovery to help ensure success of the discovery process. These tests check that context files, context variables, users, and components are set up correctly in the system for successful discovery.
For more information on both topics refer to:
•     Getting Started with Oracle Application Management Pack (AMP) for Oracle E-Business Suite, Release 12.1.0.1 (Doc ID 1434392.1)
•     Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite Guide Release 12.1.0.1.0 Part No. E28715-03 October
If you are still experiencing errors after reviewing our documentation and taking the appropriate steps to prevalidate your system consider filing a Service Request with Support.
Regards,
Product Management

Since you didn't say "thank you", I assumed my time was of no value to you.
However, I shall try again.
There is no relationship between instance failure and VIP failover. How can there be? What if you are running ten instances on each node, and one fails? Would you want the VIP to relocate? And I've already told you how to test it: kill the node. Just reboot it.
