case sensitive passwords and database links

edited Dec 13, 2011 5:12PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
Hello all

I am a bit confused about the effects of SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = TRUE on 11.2.0.2 and connecting via database database links from 10.2.0.5.

I have found out that databaselinks created with passwords in them work fine regardless of the case of passwords stored in the dblink as long as the user (originally created on 10g) does not change pw on 11g. After a change of password on 11g, the password stored in the dblink on 10g must match in case with the newly changed password on 11g. That I can understand.

My confusion comes with dblinks created without username/password (create database link xxx using 'yyy').

Howdy, Stranger!
