Gurus,
I am trying to connect to my local database as SYS using SQL Developer (version 1.5.5) and I just can't figure out how to get it to work.
I enter the following information:
Connection Name : localhost_SYS
Username : SYS
Password : <my secret password>
Role : SYSDBA
Connection Type : Basic
Hostname : localhost
Port : 1521
Service name : orcl
I click the Test button and I get this message back:
Status : Failure -Test failed : ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Now if I do the same connection string form a command prompt it works like a charm:
sqlplus sys/<my_secret_password>@orcl as sysdba

Any clues on what could be wrong?
