Password file required?

I am attempting to install Application Express (htmldb and oracle http server) from the 10g Companion Disk. During the install, after I enter the connection information (including the SYS password), I get an Ora-01017 Invalid username/password error message. I have scoured the OTN and Metalink sites and found several notes that suggest setting up an Orcale password file and setting the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=exclusive. The problem is that we do not use password files in our environment. Do htmldb/http server REQUIRE use of a password file. I can find nothing on this in the documentation. Please advise.

To install APEX into the database you must run the apexins.sql script on the database on which you wish to load APEX.
The script can be located at ORACLE_HOME/apex/apexins.sql.
The scripts takes six arguments as parameters.
password: Password you wish to give for your APEX schema
apex_tablespace: The tablespace to hold APEX schema
apex_file_tablespace: Tablespace to hold APEX files
temp_tablespace: Temporary tablespace
images: Virtual directory for Images
connect: Connect stringThe last parameter "connect string" specifies a connect string for your target Oracle database. If the database is NOT on the server where the APEX software is located, you need to set that REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE parameter as you mentioned. This has nothing to do with APEX, it is just a requirement for non-local (remote) SYSDBA logins.
It is best to copy the APEX software over to the server where the database resides and do a local install (where you can pass in NONE for that 6th parameter)
Hope this helps.

HT2476 After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
- contact your dad
- erase and reinstall the OS X clean
Let us know.

Configuring password file in oracle 10g

Hi
Can anyone here guide me to the steps to be followed in configuring password file.
I am learning cloning using RMAN. For that purpose I need to configure password file at first.
I created the password file using orapwd utility.
and then made the required changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files. Reloaded listener.
Set SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) in the sqlnet.ora file
Made the changes required in the initialization parameter file for the duplicate database instance.
Next, export ORACLE_SID= <DUPLICATE DATABASE NAME>
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
rman TARGET sys/password@target-tnsname AUXILIARY sys/password@duplicate-tnsname
At this stage, I get the below error.
RMAN-00554 initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN- 04006 error from auxiliary database: ORA- 01031 : Insufficient privileges

Are the Auxiliary and Target databases on the same machine?
Can you also check the parameter Local_Listener for Auxiliary Database?

Problem setting up user ids to use the Oracle password file.

I want to set up my database users so that a password file is used for connecting to the database. I have completed these steps successfully.
BTW - DB is 11.2.0.3 on AIX power 64
1. Created the password file for the database using the orapwd command. Allowing 20 entries. Confirmed the file was created in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory
2. Created a database user, sbrower
CREATE USER SBROWER IDENTIFIED BY <password> DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP PROFILE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK ;
GRANT DBA TO SBROWER;
ALTER USER SBROWER DEFAULT ROLE ALL;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO SBROWER;
ALTER USER SBROWER QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS;
3. Connected to the database as SYS and granted sysoper to SBROWER
4. Using putty, ssh'ed into the server where the database resides.
5. Set the oracle variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE, etc.) and PATH
6. Was able to connect to the database using sqlplus / as syoper
THE PROBLEM
For another user, EA_RDX_ORACLE1, I follow the same steps (2-6) bu when I execute step 6, it does not allow the connection
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
   but, if I use sqlplus ea_rdx_oracle1/thepassword as sysoper it works
Looking at v$pwfile_users on the database:
USERNAME SYSDBA   SYSOPER      SYSASM
SYS      TRUE      TRUE      FALSE
SBROWER FALSE     TRUE      FALSE
EA_RDX_ORACLE1 FALSE TRUE FALSE
3 rows selected.
There is one thing that is different for the ea_rdx_oracle1 id's:
- The users who use this id, use a took called CyberVault to check out the id. The password for the id changes each time the id is checked out; however, the way the id is set up on the DB servers, us user does not have to enter the password when they log in (ssh).
I have sent an email to our unix admin asking his how the id was set up so that it can ssh into the server. It is not included in the list of users in any group in the /etc/ogroup file and it is not included in the /etc/opassword file.

The OS authentication ( sqlplus / as sysdba ) does not require the password file.
The problem may be related to the OS user you are connecting to that server - it is not a member of OSDBA group ( usually DBA ).

Password file path

I want to create a password file in Solaris 10, is there any requirement for its path? i.e., can I create the password file in whatever path I want?

yes you can else it will create on default folder that is <ORACLE_HOME>/dbs (in unix)
<ORACLE_HOME>/database (in windows)

AnithaI'll make couple of off the cuff observations in no particular order.
1) ORACLE XE only allows a single instance per system.
I suspect that you are attempting manual DB creation since dbca is NOT provided with XE.
why do you not use dbca to make the new DB?
2) typically the password file resides in $ORACLE_HOME\dbs
3) Oracle password file is NOT required to exist.
4) does OS user invoking orapwd has necessary OS permissions to actually create the file?

Creating Password File Oracle10g

Hi there,
i need to create password file at primary and standby db. can someone reconfirm on the steps should i do before do this?
1. Login as oracle at primary db
2. check remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
3. cd $ORACLE_HOME
4. orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50 --> no need to bounce db because the parameter remote_login_passwordfile is already set to EXCLUSIVE.
5. Login as oracle at standby db
6. cd $ORACLE_HOME
7. orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50
8. no need to restart standby db.
is this the correct steps?
when running this command below:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50
is there anyway i can skip key in the password for SYS? or key in but not in clear text?
the purpose is because we are splitting the SYS password into 2 parts, just because of security requirement.
somebody?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nonie

Hi Harry,
Thanks for the idea, but still in clear text. hahaha donno why so complicated on dealing with security issues, one of it is two different person holder half of whole password. seems like no other way to invisibly key in this sys password, i rather keep the whole password.
thanks to all.. :)
regards,
Nonie

Minimum entries in password file

Hello,
I have created password file using following command ( on WXP ):
orapwd file=path entries=1 password=password
File was succesfully created, but server allows me to grant dba, sysdba, sysoper to 5 different users, until it displayd error message ORA-01996: ...password file ...is full.
How can I restrict minimum entries in password file to 1?
Thank you.
Tibor

Maybe this extract from Oracle documentation can explain :
ENTRIES
This parameter specifies the number of entries that you require the password file to accept. This number corresponds to the number of distinct users allowed to connect to the database as SYSDBA or SYSOPER. The actual number of allowable entries can be higher than the number of users, because the ORAPWD utility continues to assign password entries until an operating system block is filled. For example, if your operating system block size is 512 bytes, it holds four password entries. The number of password entries allocated is always a multiple of four.
Multiple of four has to be intended besides the first one. Entries=1 allows 5 entries, Entries=6 allows 9 entries.

How to change the default password file's name and path when the database created?

how to change the default password file's name and path when the database created?
null

Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS and INTERNAL (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.

You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
Hope that helps!

How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks
Arvind
Edited by: iinfi on Sep 29, 2008 12:15 AM

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

J2ee1.4 installation error - there are no files requiring installation

hi all,
i downloaded the j2ee sdk 1.4 bundle and installed successfully on my suse 8.2. however when i tried doing it on another suse 8.2 machine using the same bundle i got an error that says :
There are no files requiring installation - here's all the output -
Checking available disk space...
Checking Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...
Launching Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...
Error: There are no files requiring installation.
Deleting temporary files...
i'm new to j2ee so plz, if any one knows how to get around this, let me know.
thanks,
rich

This message will be issued if files necessary for installation are not found once the self-extracting executable extracts its content. If you successfully used same distribution file to install on another machine, it is very likely that the distribution file got corrupted while being moved from one system to another.
If you use ftp to transfer files between systems, make sure that you transfer file in binary mode.
If you don't have the original distribution file anymore, you might need to download the distribution again.

"Ipod Cannot Be Updated, The File Required Is Missing" - Can someone help?

I just got this error today and its bugging me.
Whenever I try to update my ipod it gives me a new window saying "IPOD (name) cannot be updated, the file required is missing."
ummm I thought maybe if i restored my ipod the file would be restored too but that didnt work....
After i restored it, the itunes library updated my ipod with all my original playlists and videos, but now when i try to update it and sync my pictures to it or create new playlists, it gives me that message.
Can anyone give me some advice on what i can do to fix this problem? i do have the iTunes 7.01 my ipod is the 60G Ipod Video (White)
Thanks for your help guys, i really need it.

I just dealt with the same problem. None of the answers people gave to the problem worked!
Whatever it is that you're trying to put into your iPod... make sure that the file is located in your "My Music" file first.
Basically, when you get that message double check and if what you selected isn't in "My Music" drag and drop into it and try again.
I hope that helped!
I know... so frustrating.
