Ashoke,

In chapter 24, go through :

     "Managing Audit Trail Information"
            "Setting Auditing Options"
               "Enabling Audit Options"
                    "Enabling Statement Privilege Auditing"
You will see this text :
To audit all successful and unsuccessful connections to and disconnections from the database, regardless of user, BY SESSION (the default and only value for this option), enter the following statement:

AUDIT SESSION; I use this query to report failed login attempts from SYS.AUD$ : select os_username, username, userhost, terminal, timestamp, returncode from sys.dba_audit_session
where returncode != 0
order by timestamp
/

(DBA_AUDIT_SESSION is a view on AUD$)

     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
