Hi all,

I just try to install/configure Database Control on a HP Itanium Machine.
If I start the emca it seems to work fine, but ib breaks down creating the user
Create MGMT_VIEW user..

DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28003: password verification for the specified password failed
ORA-20003: Password should contain at least one \
digit, one character and one punctuation

I have had character (capital and lower), digits and two $ in the passwords for sysman and dbsnmp.
What does this message mean to me ? Whatt did I do wrong ?

kind regards
Uwe

Password verification function is active on your database , so it would be better to look into the definition of that function . And as i found it i think the default ( provided by oracle) password verify function is active .

Quote:


SQL> select profile, resource_name, resource_type, limit from dba_profiles;

PROFILE RESOURCE_NAME RESOURCE LIMIT
------------------------------ -------------------------------- -------- -----------------------
DEFAULT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS PASSWORD 3
DEFAULT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME PASSWORD 60
DEFAULT CPU_PER_SESSION KERNEL UNLIMITED
DEFAULT PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME PASSWORD 1800
DEFAULT CPU_PER_CALL KERNEL UNLIMITED
DEFAULT PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX PASSWORD UNLIMITED
DEFAULT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION PASSWORD VERIFY_FUNCTION



what is the result of above query on your machine .

Can you see that VERIFY_FUNCTION or any other name there .

and then look into the text for that function, like this

SQL> select text from user_source where name='VERIFY_FUNCTION';


now i hope you should get the answer of your problem .

And one more thing , the error you got is mentioned in the default script provided by oracle. you can find it on your database server '$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql'

Hi,
In first step you're right.
We got VERIFY_FUNCTION.

But selecting the text gave "no rows selected"

That seems it is not installed but it works.

any new suggestions ?

Did you write the name of verify function in capital letters as i wrote in the command .

 SQL> select text from user_source where name='VERIFY_FUNCTION';
 


if yes then try querying vice-versa .i.e write in small letters .

it should be there .

can you please post the query you are running and the output .

I hope you must be running this query after logging in as 'SYS'

That works, I was in as system

looks like the routine from the sql-statement you suggested.
But the things I have had within the passwords, except the sys password. But the sys/system passwords work in sqlplus without punctuations.
The passwords I gave for sysman and dbsnmp have had all recommended things in it.

Do you think the sys does also need to get this even if sqlplus does not hit this function ?

I think sys's password doesnt need to abide this function because its not stored in Oracle ( its stored in a password file stored at OS level) , so no sqlplus intervention.
( others can correct if explanation is wrong)

There must be something wrong otherwise Oracle would not have generated that error.
Just an alternate , if you dont need that function to be implemented , you can set it to NULL

 
 SQL> alter profile default limit
  2  password_verify_function null;

Profile altered.
SQL> select resource_name, resource_type, limit  from dba_profiles where resource_name='PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION';

RESOURCE_NAME                    RESOURCE LIMIT
-------------------------------- -------- --------------------------
PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION         PASSWORD NULL

This seems to fix the problem, but a new one is coming up.
The logfile shows no errors, but at the end of the screen-output there is written about errors in logfile.
Now if I try to start emctl I got :
EM Configuration issue.
/ora1/app/oracle/product/10.1.x/<hostname>_<SID> not found.

how to start em ? or what do i need to fix now ?

hi,

Even i got the same error when i tried to start emctl . I have installed 10g on my machine but new to it. If i get anything then surely i will post or else you can raise a new topic for this on the same forum.


[ EDIT]
now i am able to access.

Note : Can you able to access the database from SQLPLUS , is it UP and running . Is Path is set properly to 10g bin ?

I have a Windows machine and now i am able to start the dbconsole service .Earlier path was not set properly and Oracleservice for windows was not running.




regards,
tarun
