Please review the document link sent earlier
Setting REMOTE_LOGIN_ PASSWORDFILE
In addition to creating the password file, you must also set the initialization parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to the appropriate value. The values recognized are:
NONE: Setting this parameter to NONE causes Oracle Database to behave as if the password file does not exist. That is, no privileged connections are allowed over nonsecure connections.
EXCLUSIVE: (The default) An EXCLUSIVE password file can be used with only one instance of one database. Only an EXCLUSIVE file can be modified. Using an EXCLUSIVE password file enables you to add, modify, and delete users. It also enables you to change the SYS password with the ALTER USER command.
SHARED: A SHARED password file can be used by multiple databases running on the same server, or multiple instances of a Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. A SHARED password file cannot be modified. This means that you cannot add users to a SHARED password file. Any attempt to do so or to change the password of SYS or other users with the SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges generates an error. All users needing SYSDBA or SYSOPER system privileges must be added to the password file when REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to EXCLUSIVE. After all users are added, you can change REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to SHARED, and then share the file.
This option is useful if you are administering multiple databases or a RAC database.
If REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to EXCLUSIVE or SHARED and the password file is missing, this is equivalent to setting REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to NONE.

  • WebDB - SYS password problem

    My platform:
    RH6.0
    8.0.5.1 -Standard - with patches
    probably - WEBDB 2.0.5 ;-)
    I ran into the same problem that every one seems to be running
    into - SYS password invalid. I was trying to install WEBDB into a
    different home from 8.0.5.
    - I bet that all of us were trying to install WEBDB into a
    different home from 8.0.5 .
    - As soon as took the default $ORACLE_HOME, the install zoomed
    forward. ( actually still going on ). If this is going to screw
    up the DB , thats another story.

    Hi,
    I guess even if you connect with "nolog" still you will receieve the same error.
    Please confirm these things,
    1)Are you are running all teh commands on the server itself.
    2)What is the value of the parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES in the sqlnet.ora.This parameter value in the case of windows should be set to NTS.Check what's teh value?
    3)Confirm that the user (o/s user) through which you have logged in the system,it is a part of ora_dba group in your system.
    Confirm and let us know the outputs.

  • WebDB SYS password summary and help

    Hi,
    I am working through the installation of webdb2.2 and have reached the invalid SYS password problem that many others here have encountered. I have seen advice to add a webdb alias to the tnsnames.ora file, use the default $ORACLE_HOME for the installation and let the system sort it out, or create a pass.sys file with the SYS username and password in it.
    Which one of these seems to be the consensus 'BEST' way to get by the problem? I haven't followed this issue long enough to get a feel for how not to do it and would rather avoid making a mess of it.
    TIA,

  • HOW TO RESET SYS PASSWORD after rename of db

    Thanks for taking my quesiton!
    I renamed my database. Everything is working fine except I can not change sys password. If I try I get: ORA-28003 : password verified for the specified password failed.
    I can change system's password. I can log on just fine as SYSI think my pwdsid.ora password file may be the problem.
    Has anyone every had this happen?
    Thanks, Kathie

    Hello Kathie,
    http://ora-28003.ora-code.com/
    Have you set some specific password rules? Is the function VERIFY_FUNCTION available for all and is it valid?
    Did you try to change the password for user sys with user sys?
    Try it with some different user which have the rights for that... (for example sys) only for testing...
    @Anantha:
    You are right... but please have a look at here ( Fun with password verification):

  • Upgrade WebDB 2.2 to Portal Fails with Invalid Sys password

    I am upgrading from WebDB 2.2.0.0.5 all the way to the latest 3.0.9xx. My database is 8172. I am at the point where you run the 306 upgrade script. It makes it through renaming all the webdb objects to UPG_<OLD_NAME> but then fails with an invalid sys password error when starting winstall. The sys password is not invalid and the script even tests that it is valid before even starting. So, I am not sure what the problem is.

    Does anyone have ANY ideas????

    We spend almost 6 months (on and off) to get a successful migration from webdb. After countless discussions with Oracle, because we though we where doing something wrong, Oracle advised us that forms do not migrate "well" and any migrated forms do not display as portals. We are not upgrading 300 components by hand. I do not know if this affects you like it did us but I thought you would like to know.

  • Irca script password problem

    Hello,
    When executing the irca script I keep receiving the following error : Failed to establish a database connection due to the following error : ORA-01017 : invalid username/password; logon denied
    The problem is that I'm very certain about the password that I'm using (it's my sys password). The username on the other hand is something that I'm unable to enter when executing the irca script. Perhaps this is the problem.
    All help would be greatly appreciated.

    Oh what a tangled web we weave.  I read up on keychain and I don't understand what I'm reading.  Right now I cannot download my email on my computer, I can access it through the cloud. I'm sure it will be the same for the other iCloud feathers.   When I go to preferences and select iCloud when ever I try to sign in I get some dialog box it shows up "A keychain cannot be found to store 1076701306.  It doesn't matter whether I reset it or cancel it out iCloud preferences remains grayed out. 
    In keychain access on the left side under keychains and Read's local item, systems, and systems roots.
    When I select local items nothing shows up to the right under the name column even when down under all items is selected nothing shows up.  And nothing shows up to the right when under categories I selected the other options password etc.  On the other hand when I select under keychains systems, systems roots I do get items to show up on the right side under names under all items, passwords, etc.  Where do I start?

  • SYS password not accepted during WEBDB install

    I have installed the 8i Enterprise Edition, Enterprise Manager and WebDB software from the OTN site. I successfully installed EI and EntMan on my NT server box. However, when I attempted to install the WebDB software, the install wizard would not accept the SYS password I supplied. I have tried the change_on_install password, and additional passwords for the SYS user (I reinstalled a number of times in an attemp to correct the problem, myself)....Obviously, with no success.
    Please Help.

    Your SQL Net probably is not being resolved correctly.
    You have two sqlnet.ora's in this configuration. What happens when you open sqlplus at the command prompt? Are you getting SQL PLus 8.0.5 or 8.1.5??
    If its 8.0.5 you have to do 2 things.
    1 set your tns_admin for the system enviromnment to your ORACLE8i_HOME/Network/Admin.
    Check your settings with set | more
    also modify your net80 tnsnames.ora

    @king_ofthe_bill ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

  • SFTP password problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I've just begun setting up Server with port forwarding through my Airport Time capsule.  Everything works when I SFTP as myself.  from terminal, either SFTPing to [email protected] and entering my apssword lets me in... as well as simply SFTPing to 123.456.789.000 and entering my password.
    problem is, I created another account.  I created one account through "users" in system settings, and I tried to create another account within Server.  both accounts I gave administrator priveleges to, just for good measure.
    both accounts come back saying incorrect password.  my spider sense is telling me that it might have something to do with the way MY username is configured -- in my previous experience, I shouldn't be able to simply ftp to the raw IP without a user@ and have it ask me for a password.
    Thanks,
    Aemilia

    So if I understand this correctly, you now have two accounts with the same short name?  You'll want to resolve that duplication; that's not something that works well, and all sorts of stuff can get tangled.
    If you don't have duplicated shortnames here, then there's something else going on.  Start by confirming the remote account has ssh access and a valid and accessible login home directory; that's all necessary for ssh (and sftp, which is based on ssh) to work.
    Also have a look at the system logs for any related errors.
    Also consider setting up certificate-based logins for ssh (and sftp), as those are more secure than passwords, and particularly given the prevalence of brute-force ssh attacks on the network.
