Hi,

I'm get the error below when issuing the command above:

ALTER USER XXXX GRANT CONNECT THROUGH YYYY WITH ROLE ROLE_APP;

ORA-01924 - "role '%s' not granted or does not exist"

This work on version 11.2.0.1.0 and 11.2.0.3.0, the role exist.

Anyone knows if this is a bug?

Tks All.

Is the role granted?
Post a complete test case showing the error so we can reproduce it at our place and in different versions.

THis works for me in release 12.1.0.2:

rclz> create role role_app;

Role created.

orclz> grant role_app to scott;

Grant succeeded.

orclz> alter user scott grant connect through system with role role_app;

User altered.

orclz>

so you must have done something different. What did you do?

This also works for me in 11.2.0.4 (this is why I asked for a reproducible test case):

SQL>  create role role_app;

Role created.

SQL> grant role_app to scott;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> alter user scott grant connect through system with role role_app;

User altered.

SQL> @v

Oracle version: 11.2.0.4.0

It looks like the role was not granted, which is what Michel asked about. Please see the demonstration below.

So, This is whats happens:

In version 11.2.0.1.0
There is no need to grant the ROLE to the user, i think this is why you specified the "with role role_app".

Here is my test on both oracle versions.

-- TEST ENVIRONMENT ERROR

select banner from v$version;

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
"CORE	11.2.0.4.0	Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production

CREATE USER XXXX IDENTIFIED BY XXXX;

User XXXX criado.

CREATE USER YYYY IDENTIFIED BY YYYY;

User YYYY criado.

CREATE ROLE ROLE_APP;

Role ROLE_APP criado.

GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO ROLE_APP;

Grant bem-sucedido.

/* NO GRANT TO USER EXPLICT FOR ROLE_APP TO XXXX */

ALTER USER XXXX GRANT CONNECT THROUGH YYYY WITH ROLE ROLE_APP;

Erro a partir da linha : 10 no comando -
ALTER USER XXXX GRANT CONNECT THROUGH YYYY WITH ROLE ROLE_APP
Relatório de erros -
Erro de SQL: ORA-01924: a atribuição 'ROLE_APP' não foi concedida ou não existe
01924. 00000 -  "role '%s' not granted or does not exist"
*Cause:    Either the role was not granted to the user, or the role did not exist.
*Action:   Create the role or grant the role to the user and retry
           the operation.

-- ENVIRONMENT TESTE THAT WORKS

select banner from v$version;

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
"CORE	11.2.0.1.0	Production"
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

CREATE USER XXXX IDENTIFIED BY XXXX;

User XXXX criado.

CREATE USER YYYY IDENTIFIED BY YYYY;

User YYYY criado.

CREATE ROLE ROLE_APP;

Role ROLE_APP criado.

GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO ROLE_APP;

Grant bem-sucedido.

ALTER USER XXXX GRANT CONNECT THROUGH YYYY WITH ROLE ROLE_APP;

User XXXX alterado.

As you can see, i can give the role directly to the user trough the command "alter user connect troutgh with role role app"
There is no needed to give the role explicity to the user directly before the alter user command.

So, any ideas of why this happens in lates version of oracle?

Tks

The one you think is working, isn't - that's a bug.
The error message and the documentation on alter user are clear that the role needs to already to be granted to the user.
The whole point of that clause is to limit the roles the user can have enabled when doing the connect through.

... and the bug is fixed in next versions so you can no more do it, something you shouldn't have been able to do if there had been no bug.

Take care, it was a bug in the previous versions not in the current one.
The correct behavior is the one you experiment now: you can't do what you previously was able to do.

I understand.
The bug was on previous versions 11.2.0.4, and was fixed.
i will fix the code of the installer to grant the role previous to the user.
Tks guys.
