Hi all,
I am creating a user with a simple password - it doesn't let me connect.


SQL> create user test identified by 1;

User created.

SQL> grant connect to test;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> conn test/1
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied


Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
SQL>
SYS does connect OK

SQL>
SQL> conn sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL>
SQLNET.ORA has

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
Thanks

Thanks, but the result is the same when I tried any other combination

SQL> drop user test cascade;

User dropped.

SQL> create user test identified by "a";

User created.

SQL> grant connect to test;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> conn test/"a"
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

SQL> conn test/a

SQL> conn test/A
ERROR:

I bet you do not try to connect on the same database than you have created the user.
Execute the following:
connect system/manager 
--      or any other account with CREATE USER privilege or DBA role but NOT SYS
create user test identified by "a";
grant connect to test;
conn test/"a"

It was on the database server.
However, I apologize, I can no longer replicate the issue as the environment on which it happened was modified and issue no longer persists.

Modification was SQLNET.ORA change ( sqlnet.ora => sqlnet.allowed_logon_version_server=11 )

I still don't understand why without it a explicit "a123" specified upon creation and connection attempt will not work perfectly.
Unofortunately, I cannot complete this investigation Sad

Sorry for the hassle and thank you.

Andrey
