Joe,

We referred the auditing option. My understanding is that you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature once the users are logged into the database.

But my requirement is to track the users who tried to login to the database but could not login due to wrong password.

For example, somebody may know the connect string for an oracle database and trying to login to the database as system user and with various combination of password. We like to know who are these users.

Thanks,
Ashoke
