ORA-01017 / Invalid Username / Password Logon Denied But SQLPLUS Works
Oct 15, 2012
"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" when attempting to log on to db, in three different applications. Error is observed in Toad, Crystal Reports, and MS ODBC Administrator connect test. However, same db credentials work in SQLPLUS.
Customer is attempting to log into reporting database hosted by my company, and using Cisco VPN client.I am unable to reproduce this at this time, on my machine, using same credentials and VPN profile.
Here is what we know/tried:
1. PING HOSTNAME is successful on CUSTOMER’S machine
2. TNSPING HOSTNAME is successful on CUSTOMER’S machine
3. SQLPLUS is successful with USER2/(pw)@HOSTNAME.int on CUSTOMER’S machine
4. We corrected timeout error on CUSTOMER’S side, by adding TCP.CONNECT_TIMEOUT=1000 in SQLNET.ORA (Also observed extremely slow performance on CUSTOMER SIDE)
5. We corrected dns suffix problem on CUSTOMER’S side, observed in NSLOOKUP by adding: IP ADDRESS AND HOSTNAME to Windows HOSTS file and commenting out default suffix COMPANY.com from SQLNET.ORA file
6. VPN configuration and VPN credentials are good.
We tested CUSTOMER’S VPN profle, CUSTOMER’S VPN credentials, and user USER2/(pw)@HOSTNAME on my machine (WIN7). I am able to maintain persistant connection to HOSTNAME for hours
7. TNSNames entries are good. Able to connect to db in Toad, and Crystal, on CUSTOMER’S machine using different Oracle user, USER3 (only has grant connect). Unable to logon to db, with Oracle user USER1, or USER2. (USER2 was created to try to resolve login problem w USER1, but issue still exists.)
8. CUSTOMER has Windows VISTA, does not have admin privileges, has Oracle 10 installed for client. Using same Cisco VPN client I have installed.
-I have a Oracle Client 11.2.0.1 (*Administrator*) installed on a client machine on Redhat 6. -I have a database 11.2.0.1 testdb installed on another machine.
I configured tnsnames.ora for the client machine to connect my database testdb.If I use sqlplus to connect to the testdb from client machine, it's successful.However, If I use one of the jdbc connection string from the client machine, it reports "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied"
Case 2,
-I have a Oracle Client 11.2.0.1 (*Runtime*) installed on a client machine on Redhat 6. -I have a database 11.2.0.1 testdb installed on another machine.
I configured tnsnames.ora for the client machine to connect my database testdb.
-If I use sqlplus to connect to the testdb from client machine, it's successful. -If I use one of the jdbc connection string from the client machine, it 's successful too.
For case 1 and case 2, the only difference is the Oracle client (one is Runtime, the other is administrator)The database I have is set to

I have a log-in problem. I created the new database and when I try to log-in with system user, its giving ORA-01017: invalid username/password; log-in denied, and when I try to log-in with "/ as sysdba" its successfully logged in.
When I try to change SYSTEM user password, I successful change and connecting and after few seconds when I try to connect its again giving same error "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; log-in denied
we have an application that is running from remote host to connect database using JDBC driver 10.2.0.2
but i am getting ORA-01017 error intermittently. we fetching stored username/pwd after every 5 min but for certain interval it's giving error and we get connection sucessful after some time with same username pwd.
the application monitor more number of databases but facing problem with only 1 instance.
I have a strange behavior with a Data Guard environment on Linux and Oracle 11.2.0.2. Since a couple of days, I have the following error in the alertlog of the standby database:
Errors in file /u00/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/SID_site2/SID/trace/SID_pr0f_22728.trc:ORA-17627: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon deniedORA-17629: Cannot connect to the remote database server First I restarted the Apply on the standby without any changes.
So I tried to connect to the primary database from the standby server with Oracle .Net with success. In the other way, it's also working.I also tried to copy the password file from the primary server to the standby server and I restarted both the transport and the apply.The error is still happening on the standby but the most surprising is that the Data Guard is still fully synchronized. Why I get that error and what is the function of the process pr0f?
I have an installation Oracle 11.2 RAC on Oracle Linux 5.5 on VirtualBox 3.2.8, Enterprise Manager Startup Log In does not recognize the SYSMAN username / password.
I am connected as System. It was the only user I set-up a password when installed the database on personal computer.

I have a two node RAC on 11.2.0.3. We are using SCAN Listener here. On my node 1, i can connect to the database using tns alias: The alias looks something like:
sqlplus system/actdbasystem@cusms ----- works sucesfully on the prod server. Even the same prod alias copied to second tnsnames.ora in the cluster and run, it works sucesful too. But the issue is, when we copy the same alias onto any other servers and try to connect give's the following error message:
I have a query similar to the one below which is embedded in a PRO*C program. The query works fine when run in the PRO*C program against a 8i database but fails with an "ORA-02015: cannot select FOR UPDATE from remote table" error when run against a 10g database. The PRO*C program is executing the sql using "EXEC SQL".
QUERY: Select last_name, first_name from Member where .... FOR UPDATE OF LAST_NAME;
The other thing to note is this SQL query works fine via sqlplus in a 10g environment.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The above query is selecting data from a base table via a user view VIEW: select * from otherschema.member@connection_identifier;
This view was created in this manner to allow the user account access to the underlaying table without creating explicit permissions.
I am in a bit confusion about the user when we are logging in to sqlplus /as sysdba. what the user is when we are into sqlplus with sqlplus /as sysdba.
I am in the process of converting my skill in oracle and this time PRO*C from Windows to Linux. I have oracle 11g R2 installed on a UBUNTU (12.04) server and have installed the instant client as described in

This has a query which will run in SQLPLUS but fails with PRO*C

I each user in my table to have a unique username and user_id. So the table cant contain 2 users with the same user id and it cant contain 2 users with the same username.
oracle doesn't support more than one primary key in a table
so what could I use a secondary key?creating alternate keys in sql plus?
I Just got Oracle 9i installed. But can not login . What are the Default username and password for "Oracle9i Discoverer Administrator" and other Developers Suite apps?
Also What URL should i type to access the "iSQL *PLUS" through my browser, so that i can execute my SQL statements.
I already did the hide of username and password, now i need to recieve in cgicmd.dat a parameter because i already have the way of reports i want only to recieve the name of them, so i put like this:
The idea of the program below is to create a sql "module" (just a .sql file) that will loop and ask for a user id until the user enters the correct one. Here is the code I have thusfar:
set serveroutput on; accept username prompt 'Enter user name here: '; accept password prompt 'Enter password here: ';
declare usernameCONFIRM VARCHAR(30); passwordCONFIRM VARCHAR(30); begin select USERID into usernameCONFIRM from GAMEUSER where USERID = '&username';
[code]...
The main problem I'm seeing is that the two variables I ask for (username and password) aren't clearing out.
I am trying for testing on test server where I am getting error while trying to connect
[URL].....
I am able to connect
[URL]........
and
[URL]......
The database version is 11g.
Actually my requirement is As I know we cannot use isqlplus in 11g we can use apex instead of isqlplus so any way or navigation how to use apex for isqlplus.
I have this code when i run this I get credentials error. How to give credentials .The authentication is set to windows in the https page. Means pop up will appear to get the credentials
declare req UTL_HTTP.REQ; resp UTL_HTTP.RESP; value varchar2(1024); p_url varchar2(4000); OPT varchar2(1000); BEGIN dbms_output.put_line('');
I am using oracle 9i version. My problem is oracle window opens.But i can not login by typing the user name and password. while login an error is displayed as follows.
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress.
