OraclePersonalizationProvider invalid username/password

Question

Hiya
I have been following the instructions in Oracle Providers for ASP.NET Developer's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.20) and have become stuck.
I just want to use Oracle for WebPart personalization so I logged onto Oracle (not localhost as no Oracle installed locally) as sysdba, I then ran InstallOracleASPNETCommon.sql which ran fine. Then I ran InstallOraclePersonalization.sql which keep prompting me for CURRENTUSER. I then altered my config file and ran the web app and got an invalid username/password error. I thought that maybe using the sys username had been a bad idea so I uninstalled and used the username I had already set up for this web app but got the same error. Then I tried using aspnet as this is given in the config example in the documentation but still no joy. obviouslly I changed the username and password in the config file each time I tried running the scripts with a different username.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it not a username that the prompt is for? Should I be putting username/password or something? Do I need to create aspnet as a user first? There's no mention in the documentation that the sql scripts will prompt you so I'm just not sure I'm doing it right. Can anyone help?
Thanks :)

Hiya
Yes it was using the Oracle SQL Developer tool taht was causing my prompting problem. I got one of our Oracle DBA's to give me a hand and we did the following:
Logged onto SQLPlus as sysdba
Created a new user with the following sql -
create role aspnet_role
grant
alter session,
create cluster,
create indextype,
create library,
create materialized view,
create procedure,
create public synonym,
create sequence,
create session,
create synonym,
create table,
create trigger,
create type,
create view,
create job,
drop public synonym,
query rewrite
to aspnet_role
create user aspnet
identified by aspnet
default tablespace users
temporary tablespace temp
quota unlimited on users
grant aspnet_role to aspnet
grant execute on dbms_scheduler to aspnet
grant execute on dbms_job to aspnet
Exited sqlplus then logged back in again as aspnet user
ran the InstallAllOracleASPNETProviders.sql file in sqlplus
everything runs without error
In my web.config file I add the following connection string
</p>
<p>
&lt;add name="OraAspNetConStringJcs" connectionString="Data Source = jcs.jcslweb06; User ID = aspnet ; Password = 'aspnet' "/&gt;
now I add the personalisation to the config
</p>
<p>
&lt;personalization defaultProvider="CustomOraclePersonalizationProvider"&gt;
&lt;providers&gt;
&lt;add name="CustomOraclePersonalizationProvider" type="Oracle.Web.Personalization.OraclePersonalizationProvider,<br /><br />Oracle.Web, Version=2.111.6.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" connectionStringName="OraAspNetConStringJcs"
applicationName="JCS"/&gt;
&lt;/providers&gt;
&lt;/personalization&gt;
If I run the web site I get a ora-1017 invalid username/password error
If I use the <strong>same</strong> credentials to log in using Oracle SQL Developer tool it works fine
If I log in via sqlplus it works fine.
Having googled the problem I've tried putting the username/password in uppercase and turning off the case sensitivity but it always throws this error even though the credentials are correct.
Now I'm gettting ora-28000 - the account is locked and will have to go and find someone to tell me how to unlock it!
Any ideas why it won't authorise my valid credentials?
