all users created in oracle 19c sys user-CodePudding

when I'm trying to create a new user in the normal way: CREATE USER test IDENTIFIED BY test; after that, when I'm trying to connect to this user with normal privileges I get the following error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied if I change the privileges to sysdba user connected successfully if I run show user the output is always SYS. SQL> show user USER is "SYS"

CodePudding user response：

I guess it is about 19c; it depends on how you created that user because it can be

a common user (which is created if you're connected to the container database and current container must be root); optionally, while creating a user, you can specify CONTAINER = ALL, or
a local user (in which case you have to be connected to a PDB, pluggable database); optionally, in that case, you can specify CONTAINER = CURRENT

It looks as if you've created a local user. In that case, specify PDB (I don't know its name; check TNSNAMES.ORA, but - presume it is PDB1):

sqlplus test/test@pdb1

If it won't work (probably because there's no entry in tnsnames.ora, try

sqlplus test/test@host_name/pdb1

(host_name is name of the database server; if database runs on your PC, that might be localhost)

CodePudding user response：

When you do:

sqlplus test/test@ecc as sysdba

you are affected by this part of the documentation:

When you connect with the SYSDBA or SYSOPER privilege, you connect with a default schema, not with the schema that is generally associated with your user name. For SYSDBA this schema is SYS; for SYSOPER the schema is PUBLIC.

From SQL*Plus the actual username and password you supply aren't validated - those can be anything, or more usually just /.

The new user isn't created as SYS, the way you are connecting just means you are connecting as SYS rather than as that user.

So, if you can't connect with:

sqlplus test/test@ecc

sqlplus test/test@localhost/ecc

then either the the TNS alias and server are pointing to a different database than the user was created in - which could be a CDB vs. PDB issue - or perhaps more likely you didn't create it with the username and/or password you think.
