Using OEM Cloud Control 12c - When I am prompted for the login id and password so I can connect into the database, I try to enter the sys id and password which are valid for the database. The password has a special character in it,
Y!t6de65, and I am not able to enter it without getting the error that it is an invalid login id or password. On the Linux server where the database resides, if I want to specify the password for sys, I use: $sqlplus sys/Y\!6de65 as sysdba and I am able to connect (NOTE: I usually do not enter the sys login id and password to connect into the database, but use the password file that exists and just enter: $sqlplus / as sysdba). I have tried everything I can think of in OEM. Any help and attention is appreciated. BTW- changing the password is not an option.
