Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Svrmgrl "connect internal" asks for password??
Do you have a password file set up for the 8.1.6 database ? Check your init.ora file to see whether you have specified any password file to store the internal password (parameter remote_login_passwordfile ..
Thanks

List,
I have an installation of Oracle 8.1.6 on a DBA test server where svrmgrl "connect internal" seems to want a password...

I know that the usual reason for this is that the account running svrmgrl
is
not a member of the appropriate unix group (usually "dba" or as specified
at
installation time) but this is not the case here. On this server I have
Oracle 8.1.6 (Home = /Volumes/app/oracle/product/8.1.6) and Oracle 8.1.7
(Home = /Volumes/app/oracle/product/8.1.7). My login script sets up
aliases
for each SID listed in /var/opt/oracle/oratab. These aliases use the
oraenv
script with environment variable ORAENV_ASK=NO to set appropriate values
for
ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH etc. Other than that, the environment is
exactly the same regardless of what SID I switch to (see log above).
However "connect internal" asks for a password for Oracle 8.1.6 but does
not
ask for one for Oracle 8.1.7. I am pretty sure that I specified that the
group name be "dba" for 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 so that should not be the issue.
Can anybody give me some pointers of other things to look at to try and resolve the problem???
Thanks,
Ken
