Hi all

I have intalled Oracle Apps R12 on Windows server 2003. I want to connect as the SYS user from a remote machine. I can connect from the server as it uses OS authentication.

I have checked that the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE in the init.ora file.

I have run orapwd and created the password file.

However, I still cannot connect remotely. I get an invalid username/password error.

I tried changing the password by logging in as SYSTEM, and typing:
alter user SYS identified by sys;
but I then get an ORA-28046: Password change for SYS disallowed. I think this is because I have a password file set up?

I need to find out what to do to connect remotely. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Alex
