Ok.  I know this question has been asked several times and I have already consolidated all the answers and checked it out and I can't figure what's wrong.   And I already have 5 servers running fine with these settings.

Problem:

From a client (using sqlplus or Oracle OEM) I cannot connect to the database with 'sys' as SYSDBA role.  All I get is ORA-01031 Insufficient Privileges. 

  I have set the remote password for 'sys' for 5 servers (Solaris) and all of them run well.  Recently I got a new server for support (Solaris again) setup by someone else and I have this issue. 

Ok .  Now let me tell you what all I have done/see on this server.  I checked all the below by the book:

 

*dba Group: dba

*Unix oracle Owner: oracle

*user 'oracle' is a member of the group 'dba'.

*parameter remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive is enabled in the init.ora file for that database

*I ran orapwd and set the remote password.

*The remote password set using 'orapwd' matches the password for 'sys'.

Here is more from the sqlplus:

$sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Wed Jun 23 16:10:14 2004

(c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile;

NAME                                 TYPE    VALUE
------------------------------------ ------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile            string  EXCLUSIVE

SQL>show user;      
USER is "SYS"

Now the only place I see nothing is from the query below:

SQL>select * from v$pwfile_users;

no rows selected

SQL>

Technically the above query should result atleast in 2 default users- SYS, Internal.  But I don't get any results. 

So How do I add them to this?  Or is it even possible manually to do something to this query's base table (as it's a view). What else do I do to make this work?

Thanks

-- passwordfile should be created when the datdabase is closed. did you do that?
do a clean shutdown of database.
create new passwordfile with orapwd.
restart the database
try again.
