Re: Password is not case sensity and uncrypted
the password is not case-sensitive which table shows the password unencrypted? Not DBA_USERS, it's definitely encrypted in there, unless you created the account with quotes around the password, then it shows in plain text and the user won't be able to login in in any case. --- Nguyen, David M [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is password case-sensity in oracle database?

RE: Password is not case sensity and uncrypted
Title: RE: Password is not case sensity and uncrypted AFAIK password is NOT case sensitive unless of course you enclose in double-quotes. Also dba_users shows encrypted password. What table are we taking here that shows plain text passwords? Is it an application table? Raj __ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc.

RE: Password is not case sensity and uncrypted
There are certain rules Oracle uses for its names, one of which is that names are case insensitive. Password falls under these rules. That said, you can override these rules by enclosing the password in quotation marks (just as you could do the same for a table). So SQL alter user myuser identified by CaseSenSitIve will store the password in a case-sensitive manner. But then you must use quotation marks when connecting as well, e.g., $ sqlplus myuser/CaseSenSitIve And I'm not sure this will work across platforms. A Metalink note (61424.999) on this topic indicates that UNIX seems to support case-sensitive passwords, while Windows does not. About encryption, typically Oracle stores passwords in an encrypted format by default.
