SQL Plus / Oracle - Username and Password Troubles

Hello all
I have just download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition for Linux.
When i use the command 'connect' with SQL Plus i am required to enter a username ans password.
What is the default username and password, or where can i find it?
Many thanks

1. If you installed the express edition, there is another step. Go to your GUI menu->Oracle->Documentation. Those names are not exactly right, but you should be able to figure them out from that
2. You are missing a post install step which the install documentation will tell you from step 1. If it is a regular Linux, you drop to a terminal and type something like "database configure". Look at the install documentation, it will tell you.
3. Do you have Apache running? You need a web server for the Oracle web interface to work
4. The error message you got means exactly what it says. That being said, you can also get this error message when the database is running. If you do, it is because you forgot to include a connection on you command:
connect sys/manager@xe
OR
connect sys/manager@localhost:1521Since you don't know the passwords, I assumed you did not run the configure step above since it asks for the password when you run it.

Sql*plus hiding username and password

Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a way that I can avoid
having to specify username and password when I execute
sqlplus and sqlldr on Unix systems.
I know that If I don't specify a username or password
these programs will prompt for one. That is fine
when I am executing thing in a interactive shell but
if I want to execute these programs from a cron job
I need to have the username and password in my crontab
file and when they execute other users can see my
username and password by executing ...
ps -ef
... How can I correct this problem?

Actually, Oracle Corp. provides a very neat solution to the password problem.
They have a program, called 'hide' which they provide the source for.
Search on Metalink for Note 1009091.6: "HOW DO YOU HIDE USERNAME/PASSWORD IN PS?"
You compile it on your system and you when you want to invoke sqlplus, for instance, you run 'hide sqlplus userid/password'.
The difference is, that when you run a ps, all you see is sqlplus, without the userid and password displayed.
You can rename sqlplus to something else and create a shell script called sqlplus that calls hide.
That way is transparent to the user. Everyone just runs sqlplus like they always have.

Oracle/ SQL Plus Username and Password troubles

Hello all
I have just download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition for Linux.
I downloaded it through the repositories and it installed it that way.
When i use the command 'connect' with SQL Plus i am required to enter a user name ans password.
What is the default user name and password, or where can i find it?
Many thanks

If yo uinstalled it, you needed to provide a password. Use that.
For your amusement, there is an install doc that guides you through the steps properly. Check out http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage

Check if username and password passed are valid?

hi,
i've been asked to create a shell script that accepts a username and password which i then need to check against the database..
but the script won't be running any sql commands.. it will run another script that also accepts a username and password.
what i have so far
sqlplus -s $ora_user_pass << EOF
set echo off
set heading off
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOF
ret_code=$?
if [ "$ret_code" -gt 0 ]; then
echo "Invalid username and/or password"
exit
else
....this works ok but it's a little dirty.. when the username and password are incorrect it shows a bunch of errors instead of the displaying "Invalid username and/or password".. this is coming from the sqlplus.
i'd appreciate any other suggestions.
thanks
allen

What are the defaul username and password for SQL Plus ?

hello, what are the defaul username and password for SQL Plus ? i'm using the client 11.2.0.1

You'll need to download the full database installation files for the platform you are using. They are two .zip files, about 2.2 gig total.
I'm not going to give you the link because you should be able to find it easily. You have to read and accept the license agreement anyway.
When you install it, you'll be given several options about the type of database you want.
But before you install anything, you should read the installation manual for your platform.

SQL Plus username and password

I have downloaded Oracle 10g from a CD I received in my Oracle Developer Book and I can't do any of the chapter assignments, because it is asking me for username and password. I have registered at the oracle website and received a keycode, but it never asked me to enter the keycode when downloading the software and I was NEVER asked to set up a username and password. I need help!!! I need to use this in class. What can I do????

Ask your teacher? If you're working in a class, hands-on help from an experienced teacher will be much more useful than anything you'll get here.
I don't know what version of Oracle 10g you are trying to work with. Is it Express Edition (XE)? Is it Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition (EE or SE)?
I don't use XE, so I can't comment on that in details. But generally, whenever you install Oracle, you'll be asked, as part of the installation, to supply a password for the SYS and SYSTEM user accounts. The relevant page of the installation wizard usually gives you the option of supplying one password for all built-in accounts or supplying a different password for each.
So: at least half your question can be answered by saying a workable username will be "sys" or "system". But I can't tell what password you supplied during the software installation itself.
It's got nothing to do with the password you supplied to be able to download the software, though. That's your OTN username and password, giving you access to this site and others. Nothing whatsoever to do with operating an Oracle database.

Username and Password access oracle 10g

I have recently insalled oracle10g. Throughout the installation process they were no requirements to specify a username and password, hence I am having trouble logging into the enterprise manager console.
Can anybody help??
Thanks
Rich

I have a situation where someone else has setup 4 oracle databases, that person is not here anymore. I need to get signed on as SYS user, but no one here knows that password. I need SYS user, so that I can get signed onto the dbconsole Enterprise Manger 10g grid control screen and create backups etc. That requires sysdba privileges. I have checked the v$pwfile_users table and SYS user is the only one in there. I have tried to sign on from the windows 2003 server with an administrator's id on the server as sqlplus /nolog and then tried sql> connect / as sysdba, but I get insufficient privileges back. How can I get the SYS password or reset it so that I can grant sysdba to my system user account, so that I can set up the backup/recovery screens on the EM Grid control screen?

Validate web service username and password against Oracle EBS

Hi,
We have a requirement to pass username/password to a SOA webservice that needs to be validated against Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) login credentials. The EBS users are not integrated with SOA Weblogic server. In EBS, the standard PL/SQL procedure FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_LOGIN(user_name, password) can be used for validation. Appreciate if someone can provide input on validating the username and password as part of web service security header using any OWSM policy.
Thanks!

I'm guessing that you are trying to call an EBS API and are using FND_WEB_SEC to test that the user account is valid in FND_USER first before executing the API call. In that instance, you'll likely need to use the Oracle Applications Adapter for EBS if you want to authenticate the user through FND_USER.
If you've not purchased that adapter, you could use a simple BPEL process, with a regular database adapter to firstly call the FND_WEB_SEC package to authenticate. Pass the response from eBS into a bpel variable, add a bpel switch based on the outcome of that variable either execute the API call or throw an authentication error if the call failed.
You can wrap all this up into one web service that then calls this bpel process, taking the username and password as as input parameters.

Default username and password for Oracle 10g

I have installed Oracle 10g Standard edition on my PC, but do not know the username and password to login. Does anyone know the username and password?
Thanks,

Hello,
Did you create database using dbca after installation or you choose to created during install?
If you did you can create scott schema using this
sql> @\Oracle\product\10.2.0\...\RDBMS\ADMIN\scott.sql
You can login as sysdba and see if scott user created for you, offcourse if you have created database using DBCA or during isntall in first place.
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
Sql> select username , status from dba_users where username='SCOTT';
I strongly recommend you to create new database using DBCA and it will let you walk thru all the steps.
Regards

Forgot my oracle 11g username and password

hi all
forgot my oracle 11g username and password , how can i recover them although i tried multiple ways as using / as sysdba and it didnot work .

Please in addition to your own words, post full copy-paste of command line sessions including actual error messages (e.g. cannot access database is not an actual error).
Try from a command window (cmd), assuming Windows platform:
sqlplus / as sysdba
If it says "Connected to idle instance.", try:
SQL> startup
Did you just install XE or was it working before and now suddenly it doesn't? (what changed in the latter case?)

I have installed oracle 10g in my winxp machine. i am using enterprise manager. i am not able to shutdown the system as it asks for os username and password. i have provided my os username and password but eerror persiste. somebody pls help me to get rid

I have installed oracle 10g in my winxp machine. i am using enterprise manager. i am not able to shutdown the system as it asks for os username and password. i have provided my os username and password but eerror persiste. somebody pls help me to get rid of this.

Here I am using Java Type IV for database
connection.
So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.

SQL REPORTING USERNAME AND PASSWORD

I use SQL Server Reporting Services for reporting purpose and create reporting using and attach database then when I deploy any report it shows me username and password in SQL Server Reporting Service.
So what does it mean by password and username and where do I get this username and password for SQL Server Reporting Service?
i have not any password in windows and in SQL Server Database
HERE IS PICTURE
So what can I do?

Going to that link will not run/execute the report. It should either prompt you to login or login you automatically and bring you to the landing page. If you are not being prompted to login, you should consider looking at making sure all the
appropriate services are running by looking at SQL Server Configuration Manager (i.e., the database engine and reporting services). It's also possible that your browser is configured to login you automatically if you are not being prompted to login,
which could be issue if the account you are logged into your computer as is not an administrator.
The next thing to consider is disabling any antivirus or security software that may interfere with the connection. Lastly try different browsers (e.g., firefox, Chrome, and IE) and see if you are getting any different error messages. Also consider
substituting "lenovo-pc" with "localhost". I have also seen the issue described in this article where you may need to disable the loopback check.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/sqldownsouth/2009/09/28/reporting-services-disable-loop-back-check/
You aren't going to be able to deploy anything unless you can connect to SSRS via a web browser.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?
