Re: connect as sysdba ora-1031

>>> I get this issue if (for example):

>>> ORACLE_SID=oradb1

>>> sqlplus /nolog
>>> connect sys_at_oradb2 as sysdba
>>> Enter password:
>>> Connected.
>>> this connected me as sysdba to oradb2 (which has a password file)
>>> SQL> connect / as sysdba
>>> ERROR:
>>> ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

>>> this errored during the connection as sysdba to oradb1 (which does not have a password file)

Check MetaLink Note:69642.1 UNIX: Checklist for Resolving Connect AS SYSDBA Issues

Try commenting out the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES in the sqlnet.ora file.
