Oracle database password_versions HTTP

in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

I have dealt with password_versions during past database upgrades and am familiar with seeing 10g, 11g and 12c in the password_versions column of dba_users table. I know its related to password complexity/hashing. However, I have recently noticed that on some of my users in our database 'HTTP' is in the password_versions column.

What is HTTP in this sense? One of my users is having an issue and we are trying to narrow it down and instead of the usual 10g, 11g, 12c, he also has HTTP. We were wondering if this is the difference between him and the other users that are not having the issue and don't have HTTP in their password_versions. I am failing to find any good explanation to what this value means? Can anyone point me to a good explanation?

Howdy, Stranger!
