URGENT Help on tracking unauthorized login to Oracle
DatabaseHi all,I have never done this
particular activity but by following the clues given in thisthread AND BY
reading the documentation I was able to make this work. Thesteps I
followed were.1. change the initializaion parameter audit_trail
to be:audit_trail=dbshutdown and restart database2. connect to
the database as a user that has the privilege "AUDIT SYSTEM"audit session
whenever not successfulat this point you can see these unsuccessful
logins by monitoring the dba_audit_trail view.John<A

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.
