  Hi all

  You seem to have put the os_authent_prefix to a pair of double quotes. This is not going to work! You must erase it completely, the use of quotes twosingle. Like this:

• Sending of username failed. Mail server - answered: username/password invalid name

  I read the other two posts about this and tried all of the suggestions, but nothing works and I still get the same problem.
  It started a couple of days without change my password or my server.

  Re-installation of TBird is a go because I have so many email accounts. All others are working well - all on the same server too.

  Server Admin told me that account shows no attempt to access the server.

  They see email coming into the server, but no pop/imap connection. If something happens on my end.

  You have any other suggestions?

  Really, there is a limited number of options.

  1. your account settings are simply false. Please copy to the Clipboard and paste here the troubleshooting information in the Help menu.
  2. your anti virus is ruin. Try restarting in safe mode Windows with networking
  3. some other security software is messing up. Try restarting in safe mode Windows with networking
  4. you have an add-on which makes life difficult. Hold down SHIFT while you start Thunderbird to put in safe mode it is clean.

• Message to username/password invalid when you try to connect to the computer on a homegroup.

  Original title: Second computer cannot find the domain of the first computer in a homegroup

  I have a 2 computer homegroup.  Each computer is says that it is a member of the homegroup.  No matter what computer created the homegroup has no difficulty to access each other, but who later joined can not reach the first.  There is always a message to username/password invalid.  In addition, in the left panel, the computer that joined is not listed under "homegroup" but the computer that created the homegroup sees the one that was added.  This works the same regardless of the order in which everything happens.  I used to think some userid is messed up, but since it works when I reverse the process of creation/join I suspect it's something different.

  Found.  It still does not make any sense, but...
  Remember that this is always the computer that created the homegroup that is the problem.  When you go through Control Panel / homegroup computers are said to belong to a homegroup.  When you go to networking and click to view the entire map, there is this message that says that you have been invited to join a homegroup.  Don't forget, it's the computer that created the home group.  In any case, logical, if you agree to join the homegroup, you have created - and the "homegroup" says you are already a member-all right.  Works fine now.  Go figure.

  This message might be your Yahoo! Mail Notifier extension? You may be able to erase or update its settings, disable or delete the page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then scroll down and look for an option button for this extension.

  You can also delete saved connections that are obsolete, if the problem occurs on your home page (or one of your home pages):

  A little luck?

• -ERA [AUTH] username/password invalid. I use MS2007 0n a windows xp system. When I try to send/receive emails, the system remember my password, it will not except my password.

  About 3 months ago, I started to apply the zone enter the network password in Outlook when I tried to send/receive email.  I was using WIndows 2003.  I worked with my ISP, that would be to delete and recreate my email accounts (sometimes it would work for a day or so, but the problem will come back).  Microsoft has stated that they do not support Windows 2003 and recommended that update for 2007.  A day after the upgrade, the message reappears.  I had my speed of the laptop and hard drive updated and cleaned for any potential problem, but the problem still exists.

• ORA-01017 with database link

  Hi all

  I have a small problem, but I can't find the solution yet.

  I created a DB1 databaselink: "create public database GO_TO_DB link

  connect to TEMP identified by PW_TEMP

  using DB2; »

  On DB2 I have the TEMP user with password PW_TEMP thanks to subsidies for the TEST table.

  In DB2, there is a table "TEST";

  I'm logged into DB1 and do: SELECT * FROM TEST;  I get: "ora-01017 name username/password invalid; connection refused

  ORA-02063 previous line of GO_TO_DB'

  messages.

  I can connect to DB2 with the TEMP of the user and can select: no problem.

  Also, I tried to connect with sqlplus and user TEMP on DB2: no problem.

  Connect to DB1 in sqlplus and don't select it * test, I get ora messages too.

  Do I did wrong or what I forgot?

  Greetz, Cees

  This error message means that you have provided the wrong username and password for the database that the DB connection is connected to.

  If the password is case-sensitive, you must put quotation marks when you create the DB link.

  The name of DB that you provided when you create the DB link could also be referring to a different database than the one you expect. You should check your tnsnames.ora file (or files) to verify this. You can also specify definitively the DB using the syntax ' host: port / SID "instead of a TNS name.

• sqlplus 'virtue sysdba' = > ora-01017

  Hi all

  I have a 11.2.0.4 database installed on Linux 6.5 customer virtualbox.

  I access the database through the client linux itself.

  I was able to initially managed to connect as SYS, and I've updated the password using the alter command.

  However, I am now unable to connect externally as SYS using third-party applications such as developer of Toad or sql. (Yes I put it to SYSDBA) (I can connect applications, so external connections are accepted).

  And when I try to open a session with the command of "virtue sysdba" sqlplus, I get the error message ora-0107 name username/password invalid.

  I logged in as the SYSTEM user and changed the password once again, but still no luck. I made sure that we do not use a password file.

  Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

  See you soon,.

• Name of user and password invalid connection denied

  Hi all
  I installed the Oracle 11 g server and I use forms 6i oracle as front end. while I tried to connect my application to 11g I get the message name to username/password invalid connection refused
  After I get my application open but while I am trying to open each form in an application, I get this message. Is any particular setting in oracle 11g.

  By default, Oracle 11g passwords are case-sensitive: make sure you use the correct case of password.

• Cannot connect through the ORA-01017 Invalid Username/Password database link

  Hello

  I have two virtual machines with Oracle 11 g 2 and one with Oracle 12 c installed on RHEL 6

  I wanted to install a dblink between the 2, but after you have created the dblink I get error: ORA - 01017 Invalid username/password

  Now, I know, the error is clear enough but when I try to connect using netmgr it works

  So just to summarize, Oracle 12 c, I'm trying to connect to Oracle 11 g using a DBLINK but I get ORA-01017

  Since Oracle 12 c, I created a new service so that I have the remote db alias in tnsname.ora and at the end of the process, when they ask for test connection, I can connect successfully to remote db

  Then I created a dblink according to the following:

  SQL > CREATE PUBLIC DBLINK LINK DATABASE to CONNECT to

  "hr""" IDENTIFIED BY ' password ' with the HELP of 'REMOTEDB ';

  If I then select * from employees@dblink, I get the error

  What I've noticed, it is that in the 11g (the target machine) I can not connect with OS authentication, don't know if its related

  If i: sqlplus / as sysdba I get ORA-01031 insufficient become

  I have to connect to the Linux box as user 'oracle', who is a member of the groups oinstall dba

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you!

  CHRI$ says:

  SQL > CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK DBLINK TO CONNECT TO

  'hr' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' with the HELP of "REMOTEDB";

  You will probably have to create the link without containing the user name and the word in double quotes.

• Getting ORA-01017: invalid username/password error only with specific tools

  Hello
  I'm still a Junior DBA familiar with Oracle. I have difficulties to access one of my databases with tools of TOAD and SQLDetective. When I try to connect to my database using these tools, I get the error:
  
  ORA - 01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused
  
  Even if the password and user name is correct.
  
  I can correctly connect through other tools like SQLTools and sqlplus. I searched on this problem and I've seen people with the same problems, but I could not find a solution. The strange thing is, I can use TOAD and SQLDetective to connect to other databases with no problems. It seems to be present a specific database.
  
  My database is a database 11g on linux machine. I have clients 9i and 10 g installed on my machine. All my applications use the 9i on my machine home tnsnames.
  
  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello, if it is 11g, look at the sec_case_sensitive_logon parameter. This default is true, which makes the case-sensitive password. Some tools/applications do a HIGHER or LOWER on the password and so what can the reason for the error

• Duplicate database RMAN 11 GR 2 ORA-17627 ORA-01017 RMAN-03009 ORA-17628

  Hello
  
  I'm getting ORA-17627: ORA-01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused when using the RMAN duplicate on the same host using the account Oracle DBA. The system is Linux Oracle and Oracle 11.2.0.1 5.5
  
  I tested the connectivity and passwords and everything works fine. What could be the reason of this problem please?
  
  Details below:
  
  Thank you.
  
  
  H3. Summary of the solution:
  
  A big thank you to all who responded! The problem is solved finally :-)
  
  The ORA-17627: ORA-01017 has been corrected using the connection string to connect to the target database, instead of target rman / in the command prompt
  

  $ rman
  RMAN> connect target sys/password@orcl
  RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/password@clonedb
  RMAN> duplicate target database to clonedb from active database;

  However, there was still another question:
  

  channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile copy
  input datafile file number=00001 name=+DATA/orcl/datafile/system.256.737564331

  ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server
  continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run

  The alert.log to the auxiliary database (clonedb) shows:
  
  Errors in the /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/clonedb/clonedb/trace/clonedb_ora_6129.trc file:

  ORA-27040: create file error, cannot create the file

  I fixed the problem by changing the following text in the settings of the clonedb instance file:
  
  * .db_file_name_convert =('+Data/ORCL/','/Scratch/oradata/clonedb/')
  * .log_file_name_convert =('+Data/ORCL/onlinelog/','/Scratch/oradata/clonedb/logfile/')

  Hi guy,
  Please configure the tnsnames and auditor of the target and auxiliary.
  That set the script to use OIC to connect in both instances like this:

  connect target sys/test@orcl
  connect auxiliary sys/test@clonedb

  Please after the release.
  Kind regards
  Tycho
