Hi everybody !
Does anybody can explain me how does the remote_login_passwordfile parameter work exactly ?

Here is the problem :
On one NT server, with 8.1.7 Oracle release, I would like to create a new database :
- I've created a new init.ora file (with remote_login_passwordfile to EXCLUSIVE),
- I've created the Oracle Service and the password file (with ORADIM),
- I lauched server manager and connect internal to startup nomount the instance and then execute the create database statement.

What I'm wondering, is how Oracle knows that we need a password for internal (which is in the password file because the remote_login_passwordfile is set to EXCLUSIVE) when we are connected if the init.ora file is not opened yet (we have just launched svrmgrl) .....
