entries option is not working while creating the password file in 19c database

Gaurav Kumar KhandelwalJun 14 2025

Hi All,

I created a password file in Oracle 19c database using below command:

orapwd file=orapw$ORACLE_SID password=Gaurav_2202 entries=2 force=y

as you can see in above command, I used entries=2 so it should allow only two users to connect database simultaneously with sysdba privilege. So, to test this scenario I created three users and tried connecting to database at the same time and all got connected. Can someone help me out to find the issue?
