invalid common user or role name

Hi I have no experience with Oracle. I have built an Oracle 12c 12.1.0 database server on Centos 6 with the idea of creating tables, populating them using sqlldr and running select, alter, delete -- basic Oracle tasks.

I am Logged in like this:

[oracle@new-host bin]$ ./sqlplus / as sysdba;

Created a new user like this, using instructions from "Oracle Database 12c The Complete Reference":

CREATE USER newuser IDENTIFIED BY hokie1999 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;

SQL> CREATE USER newuser IDENTIFIED BY hokie1999 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;

CREATE USER newuser IDENTIFIED BY hokie1999 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp DEFAULT TABLESPACE users

            *

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-65096: invalid common user or role name                    <<<<<<<<<<< HERE

Someone tell me what I am doing wrong, thanks.

ORACLE_SID=DEV

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1

When server was built the "Create and Configure a Database" option was selected.

SQL> show con_name

CON_NAME
