Externally authenticated account (i.e OPS$ account) question

edited May 29, 2023 7:32AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Hi folks,

We have a homegrown process to manage some application level security that connects to our database from an application server using an externally authenticated account (e.g. OPS$ACCTMGMT). 

On the application server, a user issues the ACCTMGMT command which is an alias for "sudo -u acctmgmt /u01/application/ManageAccts". This process has been working all along.

Yesterday we performed a switch from our primary database PRODDB on serverA to our standby database on serverB. Now, when we issue the ACCTMGMT command we're getting an invalid username/password message. See below:

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Howdy, Stranger!
