Oracle 11g Password : Relation between user$, DBA_USERS, PASSWORD_VERSIONS, spare4, IDENTIFIED BY VALUES

advertisements

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Eucharistic Miracles of the World
password_versions column in user$ table can have 3 types of values.
A value as 10G means the user is created in 10g and migrated to 11g version and password is never changed in 11g version.
A value as 11G represent the user password modified with alter user <username> identified by values ‘spare4’; command.
A value 10G 11G means the user is migrated from 10g and password is modified after migration.

Oracle 11g needs both password and spare4 column(from user$) values to restore the password if the password_version column is 10G 11G. Also, you have to use alter user identified by values ‘spare4;password’; from user$ for resetting the password for temporary purpose.

See some examples below.

SQL> create user test identified by test;

User created.

SQL> SELECT USERNAME,PASSWORD_VERSIONS FROM DBA_USERS where username in ('SYS','SCOTT','TEST');

USERNAME                       PASSWORD
------------------------------ --------
SYS                            10G
TEST                           10G 11G
SCOTT                         10G 11G

  1*  select name,password, spare4 from user$ where name in ('SYS','SCOTT','TEST')
