ORA-01017 - Linux - Connecting using slash (sqlplus / as sysdba)

Hello, I have an issue with the connection.

If I try to connect using "/ as sysdba", the ORA-01017 appears:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdbaSQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production on Fri Dec 28 08:52:19 2018Copyright (c) 1982, 2014, Oracle.  All rights reserved.ERROR:ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

But if I try to connect using "sys as sysdba", the connection is success:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus sys as sysdbaSQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production on Fri Dec 28 08:53:40 2018Copyright (c) 1982, 2014, Oracle.  All rights reserved.Enter password:Connected to:Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit ProductionWith the Partitioning, Real Application Clusters, Automatic Storage Management, OLAP,Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing optionsSQL>

Howdy, Stranger!
