Oracle Username,Password/

I want to execute a query thorugh which, I can find Username and Password of all Oracle Users.

Oracle does not store the password of a user in plain text. You can query the DBA_USERS view but the password column in that view contains an encrypted value.
select username, password from DBA_USERS;

P.S. Sorry about duplicating your post Brendan. The time lag of my connection got me.

Authenticate Oracle Userid & Password

I have a requirement wherein i need to authenticate the oracle username & password
similar authentication functionality (maybe using PL/SQL or check using SQL query) is required as when a user connects to DB using sqlplus or any tool.
ANy leads/suggestions at the earliest will be very much appreciated
Cheers
Rajesh

No. Passwords in the database are hashed, not encrypted, hence the password cannot be recovered (unless you want to break the hashing algorithm).
Can you explain your business requirements in a bit more detail? You may be able to use something like proxy authentication instead.

Can anybody face this issue and can reply to me.Do you mean you get a blank page for the Arabic login page? If yes, have you tried to recompile JSP files manually and see if it helps?

variable uname has valid username that is 'scott' and variable upwd as valid password ie 'tiger' both entered by the user.
with the same username and password i am able to connect to the database from the command prompt.
but when i tried using odbc through ASP(javascript) i am getting above error.
and one more thing if i mention username and password directly in UID and PWD it works but when i pass it through variables it wont work.
since variables have username and password it has to take from it directly...........manually i cant give,dynamically it has to take.

Configuring usernames/passwords in Oracle DB

Hi,
I have the latest Weblogic 8.1. The usernames/passwords are stored in a table
in Oracle database.
Can someone explain to me (point me in the right direction in documentation) how
to configure Weblogic to look up those usernames/passwords/roles in the Oracle
DB?
Currently, we have a web application that uses declarative security and I want
Weblogic to look up the usernames/passwords/roles automatically.
I know in Tomcat you can specify the datasource JNDI and tell it (in the xml DD)
which table/column to user for usernames/passwords and which table/column to use
to look up roles of those users. There has got to be something like this in Weblogic.
I was a bit scared when I read in one of the documents that RDBMS is being deprecated.
I must not be understanding the context of this properly.
Could someone help?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Browser + Version: internet explorer
- O/S + Version: windows 98
- Error Msg: shared memory does not exist/cannot connect to oracle server
Compared to all of you, I'm a very naive computer user. I've successfully downloaded the oracle 8i personal version. When I try to get into sql+, I can't seem to figure out a username and password. I loooked up some sort of usernames/passwords in a document about this thing and have tried all of the following many different times, in many different ways, for several hours now: scott/tiger, system/manager, sys/change_on_install. The scott/tiger works just fine at the university I attend, of course. If anybody has any suggestions, ideas for a dummy, thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Hi,
I suspect, there is no database that is running for you to get connected to. You can try this.

Invalid username/password in case of oracle os authentication

Hi,
I am trying to connect to database using oracle local os authentication. REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = false
I am using oracle 11g.
here is the code
I am trying in two ways :-
1. OracleDataSource
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
String url = "jdbc:oracle:oci:@";
ods.setURL(url);
ods.setDatabaseName("oradg");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
In this case it always connects to the default ORACLE_SID which is set in the environment.
2. Simple JDBC connection
String url = "jdbc:oracle:oci:@oradg";
Connection con = Drivermanager.getconnection(url,props);
in this case it always says "invalid username/password"
Please help me to resolve the problem.
Thanks

2 using the oracle account for this is a VERY BAD IDEA
i have another os user called demo which has the same issue.
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT any way i dont want to use.
3 always connecting to the database server is a VERY BAD IDEA
i am not very clear on this can u please elaborate it?
I dont want to use any username and password for os authentication in the code.
The problem is if ORACLE_SID is set in the environment then code works fine. But I want to set the sid in the code itself.
Because if i set in the environment then at a time only one sid will be used.
But why you want to hard code the SID in the first place anywhere? Why not to use the Services ?

Passing Username/Password from .xsql to Oracle

Is there any other way to connect to the Oracle than hardcoding username, password, dburl and driver in the XSQLConfig.xml file?
Can I use parameters in .xsql files?
The idea is that every web user connects to DB like himself, so I am looking for a way to pass Username/Password from web application to the Oracle using xsql files on every connection.
Thanks in advance.
Oleg.

While that may be true for publically accessible sites, I've found many, many internal web-apps need user authentication (login, whatever). In fact, the inability to do this easily has tipped some of our projects away from web-apps.

Hi,
I think better to check with your sysadmin or DBA on this, I had the same isuse before but Apps 11i with Discoverer, I talked to ERP sysadmin and worked fine.
Since applications userid cannot talk with Discoverer schema (eul10_us) and it should directly talk with APPS user and then APPS user can talk with Discoverer user.
To the best of my knowledge I provided.

Oracle XE default username / password

Hi all,
An instance of Oracle 10g XE had been set up for my team a while back by a previous employee. Unfortunately, he left without telling us the username / password that he had set up for the database.
Is there a default username / password (that has DBA privileges) that we can use to get into this XE database, or are we looking at removing this database and re-installing it?
Thanks,
Tom

Can you login on your server?
If yes, what OS
If Linux/Unix
export ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_HOME=<Oracle_XE_install_path>
sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> alter user system indentified by <new_password>;
If windows

Hi,
i think you are new to OBIEE.
let me say something about it.
OBIEE has mainly two components on which users can work.
1.RPD. (Designing and syncronization from Database comes under this).
2.Presentation. (Dashboards,Answers and all other reports to the end user for analysis.)
What ever you have designed in the rpd of OBIEE can be viewed in Presentation.
To access rpd go to OracleBI/server/repository and click on your rpd.
the default path of the rpd is (OracleBI/server/repository).
You have many rpd's find the correct one.
you have to configure it for presentation.
it is a long process.
If you are using 10g you can login with user_name :Administrator and password :Administrator or empty.
Regards,
Lakshmipathi.

600 Oracle default usernames/passwords available

Hi Everyone,
I have just added a page to my site that lists 596 default Oracle users
and their passwords. The list is available as HTML, CSV, SQL insert
statements to load the data into a table, MS Excel spreadsheet and Open
Office spreadsheet. The list can be used to audit your database for
existing default accounts and to check that their passwords are not
still the defaults.
I have also updated the default password check script archive to include
the much bigger list of default users.
The Oracle default password lists can be found here:-
http://www.petefinnigan.com/default/default_password_list.htm
and the tool to check for default passwords can be found here:-
http://www.petefinnigan.com/default/default_password_checker.htm

I'm trying to find out more info on the default SYSADM account installed with version 8i or lower. I believe it is installed with at least DBA privilege, but need to confirm. Is it installed for any particular Oracle product, utility, etc.?
