Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> ORA-01031 while connecting as SYS
All,
After installing Oracle 9IR2 on RH Linux 8.0, while trying to access SQLPLUS as SYS user
we're getting error ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. We tried connecting sqlplus from
the OS user which we installed the Oracle and have all the required OS groups assigned to it.
Both connect / as sysdba and with passord created from the orapwd utility have failed.
We also tried by connecting from OS user which has the same name as ORACLE_SID, but still we're facing the problem.
Your help in this regard is deeply appreciated.
Thanks
Prabhu
