ORA-01017 (invalid username/password) using globally authenticated account
Kris and team,
Having a hard time believing no one else has encountered this already. But searching on 1017 and "globally" and "identified" in the forum yields nothing useful.
New corporate policy has all our DBAs, developers and QA logging into globally authenticated (against OID) accounts. Oracle docs call these accounts "global users". They are able to do so just fine using SQL*Plus, TOAD and PL/SQL Developer. But when we attempt the same in SQL Developer, different rules seem to be applied, and the user is told their username/password is invalid, which is not correct.
We have several hundred developers ready to use their new accounts in SQL Developer, but cannot. Would appreciate quick reply or patch on this.
btw, when I say "global user", I'm referring to accounts that are created in Oracle using the "identified globally as" syntax.
Am I missing something?
