    sysdba authentication

    Hi,

    I have oracle 10g database in windows 2000 server. there are two os users administrator and local user say adm.

    if i connect as administrator and try to connect as sysdba, it will connect and i can work,

    if i connect as local os user say adm and try to connect as sysdba, it will not connect, throws error invalid username/password: logon denied.

    i want to work as sysdba in local user and i have given os authentication to local user. waht is this problem and how to resolve?

    thanks in advance.

    regards,

    rashad

    As the error saying, check out the user name / password you are giving. Posting the complete sequence of commands that you are using will be helpful for the forum to answer your question quickly.

    you need to make sure your user is in the ORA_DBA group

    What password file has to do if you are using OS authentication? That's weird even if you have resolved it. That's password file authentication, not OS authentication.

    hi, i given local user is a member of ora_dba group, and ora_dba is member of administrator. then i tried to connect as sysdba in local user but it was not connecting. giving error like invalid username/password: logon denied.

    then i deleted password file and created again with entries=30

    then i tried, it was connecting. i dont know what was the reason. if u find please share here.

    thanks
