You have to check for errors in the ORA-28000 range, for this is the
range that  password problems will use.  Add a check in your connection
section that will propagate any exception encountered. You can also trap
the Oracle errors for password expiration or locked account and display
a more understandable message instead.  This is the way I did it.  Also,
create a function or procedure that checks the EXPIRY_DATE and
ACCOUNT_STATUS in the all_users or dba_users table to determine when the
password will expire or if it has already. The function/procedure then
can raise an exception if the account is within the grace period or
locked.

We're using pl/sql gateway and the Apache server.  We've set up a
default DAD on the gateway configuration screen, the connect string is
our server name.  Basic authentication, Package/Session Management Type:
Stateless(Reset Package State).

I've tried the profile by setting up a test user and expiring the
account. If I go to sqlplus and log in with the expired user account
sqlplus prompts me for a new password.  I don't have a problem with
that, but you know how users are, they wouldn't figure out why.  And
management wants users to receive a message telling them why they have
to change their passwords without going through the Help Desk.

My guess is that a pl/sql package has to be written so users get their
password check at login time and receive messages such as the number of
days they have before the password expires, or that the password is
actually expired.

 If this were to be used as a serious security tool, you would
 be better off studying some of the well known password crackers
 and duplicating the algorithms in PL/SQL.

Sounds like a project to add to my todo list.  Actually it's one I've had 
on the backburner for some time.  This can also be done with Perl, of 
course.

If anyone is interested, I would suggest starting with one of the best 
Unix password crackers, John the Ripper:

RE: password

2002-12-21 Thread From

 why isn't there a program available that can reverse engineer the code used
 to encrypt passwords...  
 
 if username XYZ always has password (encrypted) CBA, you think that it would
 be easy to figure out the pattern...   once you have the pattern it's easy
 to go back and forth with the password and the encrypted password.   

Nick:

Password encryption is a one-way algorithm.  I'm no math genius, but these 
guys know how to create math such that you can encrypt a string of text, 
but *CAN'T* reverse the process.  This is an age-old method.  In fact for 
years, the unix password file was plainly readable by anyone on the 
system.  In those days, computers weren't fast enough to run dictionary 
cracker programs.  When they became fast enough, people would just go 
through a dictionary file, and encrypt each word, and simple permutations 
thereof.  When you found an encrypted string which matched your string 
from the password file, you had a match.  Then shadow password files were 
invented.

Anyway, security in Oracle is implemented in somewhat the same way.  And 
just as in the Unix world, if you have the encrypted passwords, you can 
run a dictionary hack like John the Ripper (http://www.openwall.com/john/) 
and find passwords which are based on dictionary words.

This is an endless game of cat and mouse.  Users can't remember complex 
strings like $rs^tvzH(9, so they either use passwords they can 
remember, which is insecure, or write them on a post-it.  Some people have 
devised small electronic versions of a post-it with a password, some 
attached to a keychain, or a program for the palm pilot.  But the same 
problem remains, they're only as good as the password that secures all the 
others.  

If you want to go further to the cutting edge, you run into the new field 
of biometrics.  Bruce Schneir has a lot to say about this: 
http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-9808.html

A Japanese researcher named Tsutomu Matsumoto managed to hack fingerprint 
readers 80% of the time with Jelly Babies!!!
http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/security/story/0,224985,20265318-1,00.htm
http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-0205.html#5

I actually requested a copy of this paper through the mail.  It was *VERY* 
interesting.  

So don't expect these problems to be solved anytime soon.  :-)

HTH,
Sean

RE: password

2002-12-20 Thread Bill Buchan

Yes, this is the intended behaviour (although I can't find where it 
actually documented).  Passwords are stored using a one-way encryption and 
this encrypted form applies to all Oracle platforms.  It is used, for 
example, during export/import of full dumps where the users are created on 
the new (import) database with the same password they had on the old 
(export) database simply by copying the encrypted form.  This must be 
cross-platform/version, and exp/imp is cross-platform/version. You can do 
the same thing as exp/imp does by:

CREATE USER user IDENTIFIED BY VALUES encrypted form
eg
CREATE USER TEST IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '7A0F2B316C212D67';

Note, though that the encrypted form of the password is dependent on the 
username for which it applies, so you cannot use this to set the same 
password for a differently named user.

- Bill.

RE: password

Title: RE: password





why isn't there a program available that can reverse engineer the code used to encrypt passwords... 


if username XYZ always has password (encrypted) CBA, you think that it would be easy to figure out the pattern... once you have the pattern it's easy to go back and forth with the password and the encrypted password.

RE: password

2002-12-18 Thread Jared . Still
Downloaded and installed the tool.

Not terribly sophistcated.

If the word is not in the dictionary, it won't find it.

For instance, a password of 'SHOE' will be discovered,
but changing the O to a zero so that it reads 'SH0E', and
the password cracker will not find it.

If this were to be used as a serious security tool, you would
be better off studying some of the well known password crackers
and duplicating the algorithms in PL/SQL.

This is part of the becomeuser script where you can change and then

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread John Kanagaraj
Jared,

This seems to be a 'brute force' dictionary based attack, as I believe the
Oracle password is a one-way trapdoor (just as UNIX). I don't think this
will be able to crack a strong password created from say a combination of
the first characters of an arbitrary sentence.

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Brian Dunbar
I thought (for a micro-second, and very smug I was too) that we'd be
more-or-less safe from crack attempts as we're going to be using in 9iAS
R2's Active Directory bit to authenticate from our AD servers.

But, thought I, the AD implementation on Oracle is a sub-set of master LDAP
- they're not banging on the read AD tree, just a select set OF the tree.
Which means .. someone using this crack tool on an Oracle server running the
AD/LDAP authentication can crack the AD/LDAP tree?

Tell me if I'm right or not ... our AD admins aren't going to be happy.

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Jesse, Rich
Interesting.  Does CHANGE_ON_INSTALL have the same hash value for every
version and every instance?

Not being much of a hacker (anymore) I would think that with only one
algorithm and several known passwords (you can generate them yourself), this
wouldn't be much of a challenge to real hackers.  Hell, the client encrypts
it to send to the server, right?  That code could be reverse engineered,
too.  BTW, VMS has many algorithms in play to help prevent such an attack on
it's passwords.  plug plug

Oh to have the spare time of a 15-year old again...  :)

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Ari Kaplan
This program does not reverse-engineer or decrypt Oracle passwords. It does
a dictionary forward brute-force hack. So, if the user's password is not
in the list of pre-defined words then the password is never revealed. This
just encourages DBAs to enforce password management. See the verify_function
for password management in Oracle for details.

For example, setting your password to SHOELACE would be detected by this
program, as it is in the English dictionary. SH03LAC3 would not.

Basic rules of having a combination of characters, numbers, and punctuation
marks, and not writing your password on a slip of paper by your monitor, all
lead to a safe environment.

It's one way encryption. So you can loop on all the permutation for AA
to ZZ  and apply the encryption code and compare the output to the
dictionary content. If it matches, then you got the password.

I thought about doing this five years ago, but decided against it.

I thought I will be under the hackers, virus developers groups.

it's definitely a one-way encryption on the password, I forget where I
read it but I do know that's true. 

I think that in addition to a strong password, if you lock an account
after x failed attempts then they'd have to be REALLY lucky to guess it
on the first few tries.

Re: password

2002-12-17 Thread Keith Moore
The best defense is to lock the account if there are over x number of failed
logon attempts. Then they have to guess in just a few tries.

You can also reduce the change that it will work by enforcing password
complexity. Or at least it would take a long time. Make sure people have a
number and/or punctuation in their password, preferrable not the last
character. It will also be much more difficult if the intruder doesn't know
the usernames.

It's brute force attack,and relies on a dictionary.  Only weak

you need to worry at all if you enforce passwords that must contain
numeric besides characters etc.

This program does not reverse-engineer or decrypt Oracle passwords. It 
does
a dictionary forward brute-force hack. So, if the user's password is not
in the list of pre-defined words then the password is never revealed. This
just encourages DBAs to enforce password management. See the 
verify_function
for password management in Oracle for details.

For example, setting your password to SHOELACE would be detected by this
program, as it is in the English dictionary. SH03LAC3 would not.

Basic rules of having a combination of characters, numbers, and 
punctuation
marks, and not writing your password on a slip of paper by your monitor, 
all
lead to a safe environment.

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Richard Ji
I don't think the x failed attempts lock will do anything.  Because
in this case they are not brute forcing it by trying to log in.  It
assumes you have access to the one-way encrypted(hashed) passwords
and brute force on that.  Just like you got hold of the /etc/shadow file
on Unix and run cracker jack to brute force attack it.  So you do need
to get hold of the file first which could be a tricky part.

it's definitely a one-way encryption on the password, I forget where I
read it but I do know that's true. 

I think that in addition to a strong password, if you lock an account
after x failed attempts then they'd have to be REALLY lucky to guess it
on the first few tries.

This program does not reverse-engineer or decrypt Oracle passwords. It 
does
a dictionary forward brute-force hack. So, if the user's password is not
in the list of pre-defined words then the password is never revealed. This
just encourages DBAs to enforce password management. See the 
verify_function
for password management in Oracle for details.

For example, setting your password to SHOELACE would be detected by this
program, as it is in the English dictionary. SH03LAC3 would not.

Basic rules of having a combination of characters, numbers, and 
punctuation
marks, and not writing your password on a slip of paper by your monitor, 
all
lead to a safe environment.

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Paul Heely
I used to work as a Unix security admin and would frequently run
password cracking programs against our password files.  

We found that the really weak passwords were found in the first 5
minutes, ones derived from info in the gecos fields.  Better ones, using
number/letter substitutions in common dictionary words, would be found
in the next day or so.  We stopped running after 48 hours.  We never
found that brute force iteration was worthwhile.

Consider the following if you are thinking of using a totally brute
force approach and trying all possible combinations.  I needed a break
this afternoon...

Assumptions:  All passwords are 6 characters long and all characters are
upper case.
There are 6^26=170,581,728,179,578,208,256 possible passwords
If you can attack 100,000,000 passwords per second you will need 
(6^26)/100,000,000 = 1,705,817,281,795 seconds.
1,705,817,281,795s * 1h/3600s = 473,838,133 hours
473,838,133,832h * 1d/24h = 19,743,255 days
19,743,255,576d * 1y/365d = 54,091 years

If we add the condition that passwords can be upper and lower case then
there are 6^26 possible passwords and the time to attack all possible
combinations becomes: 9.226E24 years.

Back to work now :)

It's one way encryption. So you can loop on all the permutation for
AA to ZZ  and apply the encryption code and compare the output
to the dictionary content. If it matches, then you got the password.

I thought about doing this five years ago, but decided against it.

I thought I will be under the hackers, virus developers groups.

(6^26)/100,000,000 = 1,705,817,281,795 seconds.
1,705,817,281,795s * 1h/3600s = 473,838,133 hours
473,838,133,832h * 1d/24h = 19,743,255 days
19,743,255,576d * 1y/365d = 54,091 years

If we add the condition that passwords can be upper and lower case then
there are 6^26 possible passwords and the time to attack all possible
combinations becomes: 9.226E24 years.

It's one way encryption. So you can loop on all the permutation for
AA to ZZ  and apply the encryption code and compare the output
to the dictionary content. If it matches, then you got the password.

I thought about doing this five years ago, but decided against it.

I thought I will be under the hackers, virus developers groups.

Interesting.  Does CHANGE_ON_INSTALL have the same hash value for every

Not being much of a hacker (anymore) I would think that with only one
algorithm and several known passwords (you can generate them yourself), 
this
wouldn't be much of a challenge to real hackers.  Hell, the client 
encrypts
it to send to the server, right?  That code could be reverse engineered,
too.  BTW, VMS has many algorithms in play to help prevent such an attack 
on
it's passwords.  plug plug

Don't think the db name plays a role in this.  But the username does.
i.e. user1, user2 share the same password and the hash comes out different.
but user1 from two different database share the same password and the hash

I used to work as a Unix security admin and would frequently run
password cracking programs against our password files.  

We found that the really weak passwords were found in the first 5
minutes, ones derived from info in the gecos fields.  Better ones, using
number/letter substitutions in common dictionary words, would be found
in the next day or so.  We stopped running after 48 hours.  We never
found that brute force iteration was worthwhile.

Consider the following if you are thinking of using a totally brute
force approach and trying all possible combinations.  I needed a break
this afternoon...

Assumptions:  All passwords are 6 characters long and all characters are
upper case. There are 6^26=170,581,728,179,578,208,256 possible
passwords If you can attack 100,000,000 passwords per second you will
need 
(6^26)/100,000,000 = 1,705,817,281,795 seconds. 1,705,817,281,795s *
1h/3600s = 473,838,133 hours 473,838,133,832h * 1d/24h = 19,743,255 days
19,743,255,576d * 1y/365d = 54,091 years

If we add the condition that passwords can be upper and lower case then
there are 6^26 possible passwords and the time to attack all possible
combinations becomes: 9.226E24 years.

Rachel,

   This is probably wrong, otherwise you would have to reinitiate
passwords each time you do a full import (which recreates the users with
'IDENTIFIED BY VALUES' - eg reloads the crypted password as is) or clone
a database. What it depends on for sure is the username and/or user#,
because the same password given to different users hashes into something
different. More likely to be the user#, I _think_ that I remember that
if you drop a user and recreate the account with the same password, the
resulting encrypted password is different.

The username though, *is* used as a salt for the hash, which is 
probably what he told you.

create user t1 identified by testp;
create user t2 identified by testp;

select username, password from dba_users

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Jesse, Rich
Well, that's the default password.  Is the *hash* the same, though?

Someone had mentioned that they thought it was DB-dependant.  That can't be,
since I can copy a DB, change the name, and fire it up without changing the
password.

No, it isn't.

A password hashes the same regardless of version or database name.

The username though, *is* used as a salt for the hash, which is 
probably what he told you.

create user t1 identified by testp;

Rachel,

   This is probably wrong, otherwise you would have to reinitiate
passwords each time you do a full import (which recreates the users with
'IDENTIFIED BY VALUES' - eg reloads the crypted password as is) or clone
a database. What it depends on for sure is the username and/or user#,
because the same password given to different users hashes into something
different. More likely to be the user#, I _think_ that I remember that
if you drop a user and recreate the account with the same password, the
resulting encrypted password is different.

I used to work as a Unix security admin and would frequently run
password cracking programs against our password files. 


We found that the really weak passwords were found in the first 5
minutes, ones derived from info in the gecos fields. Better ones, using
number/letter substitutions in common dictionary words, would be found
in the next day or so. We stopped running after 48 hours. We never
found that brute force iteration was worthwhile.


Consider the following if you are thinking of using a totally brute
force approach and trying all possible combinations. I needed a break
this afternoon...


Assumptions: All passwords are 6 characters long and all characters are
upper case. There are 6^26=170,581,728,179,578,208,256 possible
passwords If you can attack 100,000,000 passwords per second you will
need 
(6^26)/100,000,000 = 1,705,817,281,795 seconds. 1,705,817,281,795s *
1h/3600s = 473,838,133 hours 473,838,133,832h * 1d/24h = 19,743,255 days
19,743,255,576d * 1y/365d = 54,091 years


If we add the condition that passwords can be upper and lower case then
there are 6^26 possible passwords and the time to attack all possible
combinations becomes: 9.226E24 years.


Back to work now :)

It's one way encryption. So you can loop on all the permutation for
AA to ZZ and apply the encryption code and compare the output
to the dictionary content. If it matches, then you got the password.


I thought about doing this five years ago, but decided against it.


I thought I will be under the hackers, virus developers groups.

 Well, that's the default password.  Is the *hash* the same, though?
 
 Someone had mentioned that they thought it was DB-dependant.  
 That can't be, since I can copy a DB, change the name, and 
 fire it up without changing the password.

 Interesting.  Does CHANGE_ON_INSTALL have the same hash 
 value for every
 version and every instance?
 
 Not being much of a hacker (anymore) I would think that with only one
 algorithm and several known passwords (you can generate them 
 yourself), 
 this
 wouldn't be much of a challenge to real hackers.  Hell, the client 
 encrypts
 it to send to the server, right?  That code could be reverse 
 engineered,
 too.  BTW, VMS has many algorithms in play to help prevent 
 such an attack 
 on
 it's passwords.  plug plug
 
 Oh to have the spare time of a 15-year old again...  :)

Re: password

2002-12-16 Thread Mark Richard
Walk over to their desk and look for post-it notes attached to the monitor.
Failing that you probably have to ask them.

As I understand it, you cannot reverse-engineer a password from within
Oracle.  The common workaround scripts available store the encrypted
password in a temporary table, change the password, let you connect and
then copy the encrypted password back when complete.  This might be ok
depending on what you need to do.  But why would you need their password
anyway?

which table shows the password unencrypted? Not DBA_USERS, it's
definitely encrypted in there, unless you created the account with
quotes around the password, then it shows in plain text and the user
won't be able to login in in any case.

RE: Password is not case sensity and uncrypted

2002-10-04 Thread Donahue, Adam

There are certain rules Oracle uses for its names, one of which is that names are case 
insensitive.  Password falls under these rules.

That said, you can override these rules by enclosing the password in quotation marks 
(just as you could do the same for a table).

So

SQL alter user myuser identified by CaseSenSitIve 

will store the password in a case-sensitive manner.

But then you must use quotation marks when connecting as well, e.g., 

$ sqlplus myuser/CaseSenSitIve

And I'm not sure this will work across platforms.  A Metalink note (61424.999) on this 
topic indicates that UNIX seems to support case-sensitive passwords, while Windows 
does not.

About encryption, typically Oracle stores passwords in an encrypted format by default.

Password Aging and Expiration 
DBAs use the CREATE PROFILE statement to specify a maximum 
lifetime for passwords. When the specified amount of time passes and the 
password expires, the user or DBA must change the password. The following

login to a database account after their password has expired. During the 
grace period, a warning message appears each time users try to log in to 
their accounts, and continues to appear until the grace period expires. 
Users must change the password within the grace period. If the password is 
not changed within the grace period, the account expires and no further

If you are logging in via SQL Plus, ensure that set serveroutput on is
set in your local glogin.sql file.  If you are logging in via an
application using JDBC or OCI, then the call must be made to with the
ChangePassword Parameter.  See the  OCI and JDBC documentation for this
information.  Also, ensure that RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE in the init.ora file.
I have implemented password aging and expiration and it works fine, just as
intended. Which sometimes irks off the users.

RE: password question

2002-02-22 Thread Jon Baker
Title: RE: password question





Tough crowd. I never said it would be easy. Original question was just decrypting with the assumption that access to dba_users was given. Perhaps I should setup a test environment and sniff traffic going to port 1521 to see if usernames and hashes just happen to be on the wire. Of course Oracle Advanced Security uses another port and utilizes 3DES and MD5/SHA1 checksumming.

I guess if you think about it some possibilites of cracked password use could be:


1. DBA leaves and then still has access even if related accounts removed.
2. If able to figure from export (as non-dba) audits of actions whether disruptive or stealing of information go to someone else.

3. If able to figure from export (again as non-dba) you then have access to actively changing data whereas the export is static.


There are database scanners on the market for Oracle now that do test accounts against patterns. Yes, you do need to run them from a dba account.

But where do you get the known or captured hash ? Only a DBA can
query DBA_USERS for PASSWORD. A regular user cannot query DBA_USERS
and cannot see PASSWORD in ALL_USERS.
If you are already a DBA on the target database  you really don't need
to
find out the password for another user.


Supposing you grab a site's FULL Export dump. I guess you can then
do a FULL Import and get the captured hash. But why do you need it now
that you have the FULL Database with you anyway ?

One way hash, yes, but can use username to forceably crack the password
(same idea as unix CRACK password cracking program). Hash is consistent
which is why you can pick up the password string and drop it to another
database (same username) and have the password work on the new machine.



A non Oracle example would be to perform the following at the unix prompt:



 echo 'some test string' | md5



With the hash, you could create several variations and test against the
known or 'captured' hash. Again, brute force method.

Sameer,



The obvious answer you can't decrypt the password. Else a number of
people would think harder about buying Oracle.
It's a one-way hash -- you can't get the original value back.



It is possible to temporarily reset a user's password to something else,
become the user with your own password and reset the password back
to the original value, without knowing what the original password was.



e.g. suppose a user's encrypted password string is 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP',
read this string from DBA_USERS,
store it someplace (a variable, a table ;),
execute ALTER USER username identified by mypassword,
login as the user CONNECT username/mypassword,
do your SQLs as that user,
reset the user's password ALTER USER username identified by values
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP'

The encrypted password is available in dba_users, but it's not possible
to decrypt it.

Re: password question

2002-02-21 Thread hemantchitale

Sameer,

The obvious answer you can't decrypt the password.  Else a number of
people would think harder about buying Oracle.
It's a one-way hash -- you can't get the original value back.

It is possible to temporarily reset a user's password to something else,
become the user with your own password and reset the password back
to the original value, without knowing what the original password was.

e.g. suppose a user's encrypted password string is 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP',
read this string from DBA_USERS,
store it someplace (a variable, a table ;),
execute ALTER USER username identified by mypassword,
login as the user CONNECT username/mypassword,
do your SQLs as that user,
reset the user's password ALTER USER username identified by values
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP'

RE: password question

2002-02-21 Thread Jon Baker
Title: RE: password question





One way hash, yes, but can use username to forceably crack the password (same idea as unix CRACK password cracking program). Hash is consistent which is why you can pick up the password string and drop it to another database (same username) and have the password work on the new machine.

A non Oracle example would be to perform the following at the unix prompt:


 echo 'some test string' | md5


With the hash, you could create several variations and test against the known or 'captured' hash. Again, brute force method.

RE: password question

2002-02-21 Thread hemantchitale

But where do you get the known or captured hash ?  Only a DBA can
query DBA_USERS for PASSWORD.  A regular user cannot query DBA_USERS
and cannot see PASSWORD in ALL_USERS.
If you are already a DBA on the target database  you really don't need
to
find out the password for another user.

Supposing you grab a site's FULL Export dump.  I guess you can then
do a FULL Import and  get the captured hash.  But why do you need it now
that you have the FULL Database with you anyway ?

Mike,

Good point, I obviously was out to lunch on that one.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to search out
and disseminate the knowledge regarding this old password.

Should you choose not to accept this mission, I will disavow
all knowledge of this email and claim it was spoofed by
persons unknown.

This message will not self destruct in 5 seconds, but will
probably hang around in various archives for centuries,

If you have an old full export of the database, you can find in the
beginning of the file the users definitions
like: Create user USER identified by values 'some value'

Search for the user you're interested in and get the encrypted password
'some value'
and run this command:

Alter user USER identified by values 'some value' ;

Re: Password Changes

2001-12-07 Thread Mike Killough

Sounds like you had better fess up and ask the user what it is ;-)

If you know ahead of time that this is what you want to do, there is an old 
trick to change it and then change it back to the original when done. I just 
tried it on 8.1.7 and it still works:

col password old_value pw10
select password from dba_users where username = upper('1');

alter user 1 identified by temp1;

Open another sqlplus sessions and logon using temp1 as the password. When 
you're done, change it back to the original password from the original 
session:

alter user 1 identified by values 'pw10';

Jared, All,

The challenge has been accepted.  

In this episode of This Old Password we search for the lost password with
the help of sql_trace and a new test profile.  And voila, we discover the
SYS table user_history$.  The moral of the story is that if the
aforementioned user is assigned a profile where Password_Reuse_Time or
Password_Reuse_Max is not Unlimited (the default), then old passwords will
be stored in user_history$.password until they are no longer required to
enforce the profile constraints.  If the user is not assigned this type of
profile you are out of luck.  And, of course, you would have to disable the
profile to reset the password to an already-been-used value.

You never know what you'll start with some questions ;-)  Have a great

When you alter a user's password, what table does 
it update?

It can be seen in dba_users.  The table is sys.user$.

Once you've changed it, the old value is gone for good.

This are characters you can use:

!#$%()'*+,-/:;+_

if I'm not mistaken. Try them anyway.

RE: Password with special character

2001-05-11 Thread Yexley Robert D SSgt AFIT/SCA

If you're using the a profile with a password_verify function, then you
shouldn't be using ALTER USER to change a user's password.  If you are
trying to change the password through SQL*Plus, then you should instead be
using the SQL*Plus PASSWORD command:

SQL PASSWORD username

Using this command will validate the user's new password using the
password_verify function that is specified in the user's profile, and will
allow for the password to contain the special characters that you are trying
to use.  When you use ALTER USER it doesn't use that password_verify
function, and because it is a DDL command, it limits you to Oracle's object
naming restrictions, which will not allow you to use most special
characters.  For more information on this, see the Oracle8i Administrators
Guide, pp 21-15 under Password Complexity Verification, and also the
SQL*Plus Users Guide and Reference Release 8.1.6, pp 8-76 for details on
using the PASSWORD command.  Both of these documents are available on
Metalink.

Re: Password with special character

 Hi all,

As with other Oracle identifiers, you have to put double quotes around the
password to include nonstandard stuff.

SQL ALTER USER SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY *^%$$# L;

User altered.

SQL CONNECT scott/*^%$$# L
Connected.

Supposedly, lower case letters aren't supported in these passwords, but
I've seen it work just fine.

Incidentally, double quotes are not supported by the SQL*Plus password
command, which is a shame.  I've logged a TAR on this problem.

Good luck
Bill

Two things:
a) the  is a special character for SQL*Plus, used for string substitution.
b) Passwords, like database object names, must be surrounded by double quotes when they contain special characters.


e.g.
SQL -- turn off  substitution
SQL set define off
SQL -- surround password by  for special char.
SQL alter user jrk identified by bear12#$ ;


User altered.
