Which user is encountering ORA-01017: invalid username/password error ?

SM_308Aug 22 2016 — edited Aug 23 2016

RDBMS version: 11.2.0.4

OS : Oracle Linux 6.4

In one of my DBs I have 35 application users. When the application starts , it is throwing "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" error in

the application logs. The application team does not know which user is having this issue.

All these users are in OPEN state (as shown in DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS column ). There are two possibilities:

1. Application is trying to connect with the wrong password

2. Application is trying to login as a user which does not exist in the DB

I grepped for ORA-01017 error in the listener log and it didn't return any matches. Any way I can see which user is encountering "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" error ?
