I have created a password file at E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database

SQL> conn sys/welcome as sysdba;
Connected to an idle instance.

Then i renamed the password file to TEST.

again tried to connect

SQL> conn sys/welcome as sysdba;
Connected to an idle instance.

It works!!! without a password file. Any idea how the authentication happens ????

Thnx

OS Authentication is Used.

but i have not mentioned any OS user in this statement .
So this authentication should happen through password file right

conn sys/welcome as sysdba;

NOt right.

1. If your member of ORA_DBA group.
2. SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NTS
then you can connect to database without password file.

For Example.

C:\>del c:\oracle\product\database\PWDORA9I.ORA

C:\>ORAPWD file=c:\oracle\product\database\pwdora9i.ora password=ADMIN entries=5


C:\>set oracle_sid=ora9i

C:\>sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.1 - Production on Thu Oct 18 18:37:08 2007

(c) Copyright 2001 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

SQL> conn sys/WRONGPWD as sysdba
Connected.

NOW Here :OS user is member of ORA_DBA group AND SQLNET.authentication_services=NTS

In short just make a try to log on by providing an arbitrary user name and password,

conn sdhsj/sahd as sysdba

then show user from sql*plus.

Check about priority between OS authentication and password file authentication.
