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
