sqlplus "/as sysdba" => ora-01017

Russell H.Aug 27 2014 — edited Aug 28 2014

Hi all,

I have an 11.2.0.4 database installed on Linux 6.5 virtualbox client.

I am accessing the database via the linux client itself.

I was initially able to successfully log in as SYS, and I updated the password using the alter user command.

However, I am now unable to log externally in as SYS using third party apps like toad or sql developer.(Yes i set it to SYSDBA) (I can connect as APPS though, so external connections are accepted.)

And when I try to login using the sqlplus "/as sysdba" command, I receive the ora-0107 invalid username/password error message.

I logged in as the SYSTEM user and changed the password again, but still no luck. I've made sure that we aren't using a password file.

Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

Cheers,

Russ.
