    11g-Connect from SQLPLUS but not TOAD

    All,

    I am able to connect to my 11g database remotely via SQLPLUS but not through TOAD. I get 'invalid username/password' error. I have tried with different password cases, I am able to connect to other 11g databases, but not this particular one. My TOAD version is 9.0. Any ideas ?

    Thanks.

    You are probably pointing to the wrong database, not your fault. Toad has the ability to work with multiple TNSNAMES files which sometimes might be a nightmare.

    Look at file CONNECTIONS.INI

    Talking Sec_case_sensitive_logon

    If you have set the SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON parameter to true, then the database expects "case sensitive" passwords. TOAD somehow seems to convert the passwords to uppercase before logon.

    Workarounds:

    1) Set your password in the database to UPPER case -- or --
    2) Set SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON parameter to false.

    Thanks LKBrwn_DBA. Setting the password to uppercase in the database helped me login via TOAD.

    Case sensitivity

    the situation could be the same with sqlplus as well. It all depends on how the sqlcase variable has been set. MIXED, UPPER or LOWER. TOAD seems to set to UPPER all the passwords before sending them to the db server. SQL developer though does not seem to alter their case.
