Unable to login in isqlplus as dba user

Hi,
I installed oracle 10g in EL 5 64 bit. Installation went fine. I can login isqlplus using default user like scott, hr schema.
But not as dba user.. getting error message like , the site says: "iSQL*Plus DBA ".
Regards,
Pradeep. V

Hi,
You have to enable that for dba access. Check the Doc ID :How to connect as sysdba/sysoper through iSQL*Plus in Oracle 10g (Doc ID 283114.1)

  • Unable to login for more than 2 users concurrently

    Dear All,
    We have purchased the terminal server licenses for 8 users and install it. however, it is still limited for 2 users to login concurrently. may I
    know what is the issue that causing the issue? could it be that the licenses is not installed correctly?
    Thanks

    Hi Henry,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Here providing brief explanation for difference between RDS per User & per Device CAL. please go through following description.
    1.User CAL :
    A User CAL allows a single unique physical user to access Microsoft server software from many devices, such as a work computer, a home computer, a laptop or a personal digital assistant (PDA), without having to acquire CALs for each device. 
    2. Device CAL:
    A Device CAL allows any number of physical users to access Microsoft server software through a single device.
    For additional details refer below article.
    Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753650.aspx
    In addition, you can also refer beneath thread for accessing RDP connection for more than 2 users.

  • Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

    I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
    You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
    I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
    Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
    ACL found but not expected on Users
    Repaired "Users"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
    Repaired "Users/.localized"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
    Repaired "Users/shared"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
    Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
    Permissions repair complete.
    But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

    Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
    I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

  • Unable to login to caralog manager online with adminstrator user

    Hi Gurus,
    I am unable to login to catalog manager online with administrator user. I get error as
    'access denied for user to path /.'
    I think this is because of catalog migration from dev to test.
    What do i need to do so that i could login to catalog manager online with administrator?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When the catalog is moved from Dev to Test/prod permissions are not copied. The users are part of the system folder (i.e Catalog Manager > Users > Properties > Owner Account = System Account), which is why Catalog Manager does not transfer the permissions.
    I guess that is the reason you were able to run the reports from dev and not from test/prod. To have them work you might need to refresh GUID's check the Oracle note [ID 1467256.1].
    1. Stop the Presentation Server.
    2. Backup the instanceconfig.xml file at [middleware_home]/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/instanceconfig.xml
    Under the 'Catalog' section, add the 'Recover' tag. For Example:
    <Catalog>
    <UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
    <UpdateAccountGUIDs>Recover</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
    </Catalog>
    4. Start the Presentation Server. It will perform a recovery and then after some time shutdown.
    5. Remove the tag.
    6. Start the Presentation Server again.
    Let me know if this helped.

  • Weblogic User Unable to Login to BIP

    Hello Guru's,
    I came into a shop shortly after that had installed and configured both OBIEE & BIP. Our version is 11.1.1.6.2.
    We can log into either OBIEE or BIP successfully with out own usernames, all of which have administrator rights. However, with the "weblogic" username, we can only log into OBIEE and not BIP. If we try to access BIP content from the OBIEE catalog it prompts for a login, and will not accept weblogic.
    HAs anyone run into this before an/or does anyone know what might be happening? I'm relatively new at the security side of things, so even if you can point me in the right direction of where to start troubleshooting that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks much!

  • Unable to login to Java Desktop Environment with new user

    Hi
    I have created a new user in my Solaris10 x86 using the command
    #useradd nama
    I added the passwd to the user, using passwd.But when i am trying to login through GUI(Java Desktop Environment) i am unable to login.
    After giving username and password , again its showing the login screen itself.
    But i am able to login with root permissions.
    Could anyone help me .
    Thanks inadvance.

    use this workaround, as root edit /etc/auto_home and /etc/auto_master and comment out all the configuration and reboot the machine. then use useradd utility to add your normal users.
    # useradd -d /export/home/user1 -s /usr/bin/bash -m user1

  • Unable to login @ login window with Active Directory User

    I successfully bound my test machine to Active Directory and can search using dscl and id. I can also su to my active directory user account an authenticate perfectly. All search bases are correct and everything else looks fine.
    When I attempt to login from the login window as an AD user, the window shakes. Clicking under Mac OS X shows that "Network Accounts Available". Looks like the CLI tool "dirt" is now gone as well, although insecure it would possibly show something here.
    Anyone else having issues after binding to AD? I bound using the Directory Utility gui... I have not tried using my leopard bind script yet.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I have pretty well the same problem. The machine was already bound to AD prior to upgrade. After could not login on with my account (jball). Can log on with other accounts from the same domain (we only have one AD domain). Can also su to jball in a terminal session. Can't access network resources with jball when I try to connect to a windows server through the finder, instantly comes up with bad username or password, doesn't even think about it.
    I have removed any copies of the home folder under either /Users or /Domain as I have had problems with that before. Have repaired permissions and unbind and bind the machine to AD. Have been at this all day now and no closer. Get these error messages in console:
    31/08/09 4:49:27 PM SecurityAgent[666] Could not get the user record for 'jball@domainname' from Directory Services
    31/08/09 4:49:27 PM SecurityAgent[666] User info context values set for jball@domainname

  • AD users unable to login

    Hi,
    I have tried all documentations possible on this subject but cannot make the AD users login. I configured a new realm as per Paul Cannon's blog successfully. Configured AD and brought in required users and groups successfully. I have "DefaultAuthenticator" as the primary one. AD is second in line. "virtualize=true" option is set. I am able to login using WL id but not my AD id.
    1. If I remove "virtualize=true" option, I am not able to login with either WLS userid or AD user id.
    2. attribute settings are sAMAccountName. Proof that it is working correctly is because I can see the login ID's of AD users in my Users/groups.
    3. I have not deleted the BISystemUser from WLS but matched passwords for both from EM.
    4. system.user I changed password to match with AD's bissytemuser.
    5. Global admin role added for bisystemuser
    Operating System is AIX. Does that make a difference?
    I also notice that I am not able to login to RPD in online mode.
    I notice that when I try to add bissytemuser to any role( any AD user to any role), it gives me java exception lang errors.
    I see this error in bi server log:
    oracle.webservices.provider.ProviderException: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: BI Security Service Access Denied - credentials supplied in SOAP Message header failed authentication
    I want to keep AD as the secondary authentication provider and still make it work. Could someone help me out please? Been struggling to make it work inspite of so much documentation and following all steps in those documentations.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I tried step by step exactly as per his blog. I recreated AD Authenticator just now and I can see all users/groups in console. I added the username.attr and user.login.attr to sAMAccountName and virtualize=true. Restarted entire stack. I am able to add AD groups to roles but not the users. I get java.lang.NullPointerException. I click Close and choose the MSAD bissytemuser to add to bissytem role, I cant. It keeps giving me this java error. I tried creating a new role and tried to add the user to it,same issue.
    Is it mandatory to delete the BISystemUser from WL authenticator? the system.key has the same username and pwd as in AD.
    I am on the verge of giving up Any more ideas/troubleshooting or should I raise an SR with Oracle?

  • Unable to login to apex as admin after apparent successful installation

    I am unable to login to apex as admin after an apparent successful installation.
    I have an existing Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0 with Oracle Text running on Windows 7 Professional with hundreds of gigabytes of free disk space available. I did everything as an operating system user with administrator privileges. I downloaded the latest version of apex 4.0.2 for all languages, unzipped the downloaded zip file, extracting all files to an apex directory. I changed the working directory to apex and started sql*plus, connected sys as sysdba, ran apexins.sql installation, apex_epg_config.sql and apexconf.sql configuration, apexchpwd.sql to change the admin password, and apxldimg.sql to copy the images, and exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8080), unlocked accounts, and granted connect privileges.
    The installation log did not show any errors and included:

    When I use either browser, Firefox 3.6.12 or Internet Explorer 8.0, and go to http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin I get a screen that says:
    "Enter Application Express internal administration credentials"
    and has boxes for a username and password. When I enter admin and the admin_password that I selected, then click on login nothing happens. I don't get logged in. I don't get an error message. It does not show any signs of anything running. It just sits there. I also don't get any messages from Windows or Norton 360 indicating that a pop-up window was blocked or any such thing. I checked that the services are running and also tried shutting down the computer and re-starting (cold boot), but was still unable to login.
    I am a retired developer, not a DBA, so if there is anything else that I should do or check or provide, then please let me know. I have provided a copy and paste of everything that I could think of below. Oddly I don't see an admin user.

    Are you sure you did give right path to script ? Yes.
    >
    If you extract files to folder c:\temp, you have after that folder c:\temp\apex and bunch of sub folders.
    For script to update images, you give path to folder where you did extract apex install files.
    In above case that is then c:\temp .
    >I created a directory c:\apex on my laptop. I downloaded the zip file to that directory. When I extracted the files to folder c:\apex, the result was c:\apex\apex with a bunch of sub folders and files. When I ran the script, I gave the path c:\apex as indicated in my copy and paste. So, I did everything the same as in the quote above, except that I used apex instead of temp.
    Try extract Apex install zip to c:\temp and give c:\temp as path for scriptAre you suggesting that I redo the entire installation using c:\temp instead of c:\apex? What difference would that make? Would I need to do some sort of uninstall first?
