[pareshjavkar]

Dear All,


How to set listener password for oracle 7x.

I am trying the following:

lsnrctl>change_password
old password:
new password: ***
Reenter New Password: ***
lsnrctl>set password
Enter password: ***
The command completed successfully
lsnrctl>save_config
Unknown command type "help"

when i type "help", it doesnt show save_config as a command in oracle 7x.

Please advise.

From the manual:

LSNRCTL> SAVE_CONFIG[listener_name]
Arguments[listener_name]: Specify the listener name, if the default name of LISTENER is not used.

Are you using the default name for LISTENER?

From a LSNRCTL for NX Version 7: Version 2.1.4.1.0 session (Oracle 7.3.4):

LSNRCTL> help
The following operations are available
An asterisk (*) denotes a modifier or extended command:

start stop status services version reload
trace spawn quit exit cancel* repeat*
set* show*

As you say, there is no save_config - perhaps it's saved by default in that release?

You are partly right maybe, you are right in saying the listener password is set, but it does not put an entry inside listener.ora file, which signifies the password is not hardcoded.

As soon as you stop the listener once after you set the password, the Security clause goes into "OFF" state and the listener password is no longer valid ....
