Unauthorized User Access

618702Jul 8 2010 — edited Jul 8 2010
Dear OTN Community,

First here are the database and operating system details;

Oracle 10gR2 Patchset 3 (10.2.0.4.0)
HP-UX v11.31

My question is our customer wants to keep track of unauthorized login accesses to the database like;
#sqlplus deneme/password

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Thu Jul 8 10:29:23 2010

Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle.  All Rights Reserved.

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Enter user-name:
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Enter user-name:
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus
How can we log those unauthorized logins to a logfile or something, somewhere else? I know we can create a login trigger but i will only work for after login on database, not before. I have also checked the listener.log file but no chance at all because it does not write these kind of logins in there.

Helpful answers will be highly appreciated.
