hello I'd advize you to go through the oracle ee security manual - there are several points to be considered. e.g. starting options of the instance set in init<instance>.ora or spfile. then you can distinguish between ... different types of logins .... ... with or without ssl ... ... with or without OID ....
that's what I know offhand. Apologies for any typing mistakes I failed to notice. Markus Reger Oracle Applications DBA Webmaster MBC University for Music and Performing Art Vienna >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/16/03 06:13 AM >>> Hi DBA's Can somebody clarify the flwng: DB: 9.x OS: solaris 2.8 1. To setup OS authentication we need to grant either OSDBA or OSOPER to OS account( OS oracle a/c)? so that we can connect to DB as sqlplus / as sysdba and we dont require a password file for this. is this true ? or anything to be added this statement ? 2. If we are not using OS authentication , then we setup a password file (exclusive) and connect to database to do a startup, we issue sqlplus sys as sysdba passwd: My doubt is, whether the above entry (password: verifies the sys password ( if yes, from where it verifies ? ) I connected to DB successfully using sqlplus sys as sysdba without giving any password. (it also accepted anything like abc, xyz, 123 etc.,) I am not clear how this works ? Can somebody clarify the above.
