Hi Guys,

Thanks for useful contribution to my thread.

Now, here is the situation.

in SQLNET.ORA, SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS).

I recreated password file with foll. command.

orapwd file=PWDTEST.ORA password=syspwd entries=30.

After this, I am now able to connect to sys user as sysdba but now I am not able to connect to internal user as sysdba, which I was able to do before recreating the password file.

Supower's link is really good for understanding. How can I check whether the user is a member of the ORA_DBA local group though?

Could someone pl. explain?

Thanks,
