hi bsubbu
your password of custom application user schema at database level should be similar with the password at application level
for instance your custom application schema name and password is xxgis/xxgis , we register this schema at application site by this navigation
security> oracle > register >database username (xxgis) > password (xxgis)
here you might have change your custom application user's password at database level using
alter user xxgis identified by newpassword;
change this user password at application site also :
security> oracle > register> database username (xxgis) > password (newpassword)
i understand this from the document
Regards
