Hi DBA’s

I want to connect remote machine th’ oracle enterprise manager. (OEM) or sql *plus
While I connect with scott/tiger I am able to connect. Via sql*plus
But when I connect as sys, I am getting an error as
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.

I was able to connect

What may be the reason. Is there any init parameter need to be set.

1. How u r trying to connect to the remote machine? Are u using Oracle Net service to connect?

--- If u r able to connect through scott then sys should not be a problem. Do u have any other oracle database running on your remote machine ( through which u r trying to connect) ?

Its better if u post the entire scenario. With your OS ( both - client & server) & Oracle version.

regards,
tarun

1. Check whether a password file exist on the server. If it is not there then create a password file using ORAPWD utility .

2. Check the paramter in init file,

REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE and set it to EXCLUSIVE .

yes, this is the problem .

creating a password file ( if it does not exist) & setting this parameter to EXCLUSIVE should solve the problem.

>> how to create a password file in oracle 9i/solaris

Sol: Method is same for all OSs & it is given in the attached file.

>> how to set the same?

Sol: Open pfile & change

REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE

& then start the database with this pfile .


>> what it really does. why it has no issue for scott user connecion and gives error on sys user?

Sol: This parameter is meant for remote administration so no issue for scott( not a sysdba).


I hav attached a portion of Oracle documentation regarding password file, rest u can read from documentation.

tarun

I didnt understand your question , can you explain more?

And you cant retrieve the password for "sys" but yes you can change if you are a DBA. Wink
