Hi to all ;

I need some clarity regarding OS pasword authentication.
I red many articles still i need some clarity some clarity.

Testing From User A

# useradd -m -g oinstall a 
# passwd a

Changing password for user a.

New UNIX password:

BAD PASSWORD: it's WAY too short

Retype new UNIX password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

su - a

[a@testorcl ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

$ export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

$ export ORACLE_SID=testdb

$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jan 3 01:33:49 2013

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.


Testing From user B :

# useradd -m -g dba b

# passwd b

Changing password for user b.

New UNIX password:

BAD PASSWORD: it's WAY too short

Retype new UNIX password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

su - b

Password:

$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

$ export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

$ export ORACLE_SID=testdb

$ sqlplus /nolog

sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[b@testorcl ~]$ 


I need one more clarification ..
Mostly all docs saying In UNIX platform, the special user group is called the DBA group,
but i see user a belongs with oinstall and "user b belongs with dba So user b could n't login."
Which one group is authorized to authenticate "conn /as sysdba"

I suspect that the Oracle file which reside in & under ORACLE_HOME are owned by OS user "oracle" & have groupid of "oinstall"
post results from follow OS command

ls -ltr $ORACLE_HOME

Hi;

I tried to set OS authentication for local database. I have some confusions so
i was testing with user a and user b. One more question also still this parameter is
not enabled in "sqlnet.ora"

should i update SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES ?

regardless of internal Oracle permissions, OS user b lacks OS permission to invoke sqlplus

>should i update SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES ?
since you have NOT posted any activity involving SQL*Net, the question above is moot, irrelevant & immaterial

Thanks to your reply.

Yes you are right user b lacks to invoke sqlplus. so that i set env for both users

$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
$ export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ export ORACLE_SID=testdb

Given information is not irrelevant & immaterial.
i don't know , what do you expect from me ?

Please see how both users added

Quote:
user A with oinstall
user B with dba


my straight ques is
which group is authorized to provide os authentication to os users except oracle user ?

Note : Oracle docs saying who belongs dba group (local DB connctivity)
without username/password verification can login as (connect /as sysdba)
but i checked it provide -ve result (dba group). So that i am asking.

Regards
Sham .G

>Yes you are right user b lacks to invoke sqlplus. so that i set env for both users
setting some environmental variables does NOT change the lack of OS permission by OS user b
OS user b does not have sufficient permission to even start sqlplus to attempt to log into the DB.

a necessary condition does NOT imply that it is 100% sufficient to produce desired results.

Hai Blackswan ;

Thanks for your reply. To connect as sysdba using OS Authentication ;

>> UNIX OS user must be a part of OSDBA (DBA) group. Once the user is part of OSDBA group >>

Shall we ignore ? why i am asking this .. Oracle docs saying what i above mentioned.
So i am getting confused .. Please reply for my question !

Expecting reply !

You seem to want to ignore the FIRST condition which is not in Oracle documentation because it is implicit for any system and product/program: you must FIRST be able to use the program that is you must FIRST have the privileges at OS level to execute the program and any of the libraries it requires.

Your error has nothing to do with Oracle itself, it is the privileges on oracle binaries and libraries at OS level.

So back to your first error: what are the privileges on "libsqlplus.so"?

Regards
Michel

What's the need for this question ?
So that already i set env for a and b user. Please clarify this.

setting some environmental variables does NOT change the lack of OS permission by OS user b
OS user b does not have sufficient permission to even start sqlplus to attempt to log into the DB.

Yes Blackswan now you repeat same answer ,
Here we have problem with dba group and oinstall group.

If i add again user b with oinstall group , user b can connect to sqlplus. (i.e. connect /as sysdba)
problem is oinstall vs dba group only.

Quote:

why OS user with oinstall can access DB ?
why OS user with dba can't access DB ?


How can i troubleshoot ?

OS file permissions control which user can run what program & is 100% independent of Oracle.
This forum is the wrong place for you to learn OS basic operations.

Because dba has no access rigth on the file as your "ls" showed it.

There is a perm.sh or permission.sh or the like in Oracle Home that allows you to set appropriate permissions; search for it and read the header before running it.

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

>why OS user with dba can't access DB ?

my posted & working example showed that neither oinstall nor dba is required or contains any magic powers; since "oracle" was my groupid.

There is a perm.sh or permission.sh or the like in Oracle Home that allows you to set appropriate permissions;


I have not Linux, so don't know where it is and what is its actual name but I bet with "find" you can find it, for instance:
find $ORACLE_HOME -name 'perm*sh' -ls

I found it, it is changePerm.sh and it is located in $ORACLE_HOME/install.
See MOS note 438676.1

I might be wrong, but: you searched for perm*sh, while Michel said that it is changePerm.sh. Would wildcard replacement do any good for your search efforts?

Hi Littlefoot ;

find $ORACLE_HOME -name changePerm.sh -ls

No more improvement !

To connect as sysdba using OS Authentication ; UNIX user must be a part of OSDBA group. Once the user is part of OSDBA group ,
withouut verification of username/password successfully connect to sqlplus as SYS user as sysdba.


As per above statements ;
do you think really any permission problem missing here ?

in some, many, most Production DB environments, only the DBA can actually log onto the DB server; any discussion about multiple OS users is moot.
When OS users are member of correct OS group, then OS permissions are not a problem.
The only problem you have is that you do not understand how OS permission actually work.

1/ Are you sure you are in 10.2 and not in 11g?
2/ Did you install the server part or only the client part?

Michel

Hi Mike ;

This is not 11g.

I tried to find file location but getting error

$ locate changePerm.sh
warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory
warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database.
Please have a look at /etc/updatedb.conf to enable the daily cron job.

That is long story please leave it. Server side.
Mike , try to understand i am at under pressure.

Our env path setting :

Step 5:
Create the new groups and users

# groupadd oinstall
# groupadd dba
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle


Create the directories , Oracle software will be installed.

# mkdir  -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
#  chown  -R oracle.oinstall /u01

#  xhost  +

I don't understand what you want to show.
Once more, answer my second question.
I'm not under pressure, I can wait as long as long as you don't answer and don't explain what your posts mean.
