Making user authentication different on standby in RAC, ASM Data Guard Environment
We have Oracle RAC with ASM 11.2.0.1 and Data Guard installed on Linux Red Hat environment. I had data guard working yesterday. No one was on the database. I came in this morning all the Oracle processes that I expected were running. On Database A and Database E a user is using a PKI certificate to authenticate. Database B (standby for A) the requirement is to change the same user’s password to use a password (so using sql*plus I did an alter user <username> identified by <pwd> on database B the standby.
I went onto Database A (primary) created a test table and it did not replicate over data guard onto the standby.
