Dear Sir

After installing Oracle 9i into my server at the time of installation in the Password Management It has asked me to change the password of sys password as well as sytem password.I changed the password from sys to "sach123" and changed the system password from manager to "sach1234" in the password management.After changing the password I rebooted my server machine.After rebooting I tried to connect the sys user through
username as "sys as sysdba" and Password as "sach123".The sys user gets connected through the password as "sach123".But Now the issue is when I am connecting sys user with username as
"sys as sysdba" and password as "as sysdba" Still I am able to get connected to the sys user.I dont want sys user to connect through "as sysdba" password.I wanted sys user to connect through "sach123" so that my sys user password is secured with me.

Please help me How I should connect sys user through "sach123" and not through "as sysdba" password.I even tried to change the password of sytem user to "sach".The sytem default password is "manager".After changing the system password to "sach" The system user is succesfully getting connected through "sach" user whereas for system user manager is not getting connected because the password I have changed for system user as well.

Appreciate your help on the above issue?

Regards

If you are logged in on the server with the Oracle operating system user, or any other user in the "DBA" operating system group then you can always connect "as sysdba" without a password, so the password you enter there doesn't matter.

The password is only checked if the user is not in the DBA group or is connecting remotely to oracle.

There is no way to lock out an operating system user that is in the DBA group from logging into the database "as sysdba".

Just the same way as there is no way to prevent the root user from su'ing into any other user accounts without a password.

So just don't put the users in the DBA group. Only put the oracle OS user in the DBA group, and don't give anybody the operating system password for that account.

If you are running your Oracle DB on Windows, read the documentation about parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES which resides in sqlnet.ora

What you could do then is to prevent the possibilty to connect /as sysdba, without supplying a password.

Actually you can do it if you set SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) in sqlnet.ora
