Looks like this connection is using OS authentication. Because if I provide wrong password for sys user still connection works.
Any help why with ORACLE_SID sys user connection is not working?
In my database sec_case_sensitive_logon parameter is set to false.
SQL> show parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
sec_case_sensitive_logon boolean FALSE
Following was the root cause:
remote_login_passwordfile parameter was set to EXCLUSIVE
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies whether Oracle checks for a password file.
For me password file was missing.
Created password file
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw<sid> password=<password> force=y ignorecase=n
Bounce database.
Then Oracle sys user database connection with ORACLE_SID is working.
