Hi,
please help;

I created a new user identified by the OS using the following SQL command :
Create user xxx identified externally ... ;
Grant connect,resource to xxx;

The user exits in the OS level;

I logged into the OS by using the xxx user; when i tried to connect to the DB by using : Connect /, i've got the error message : Ora-12540 : TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded.

I modified the user authentification method as bellow :
Alter user xxx identified by yyy;

In this time, the "Connect xxx/yyy" was successful (user connected);

Help!!!

>Help!!!
We (TINW) don't know:
1) OS name or version
2) Oracle version to 4 decimal places.

We do know:
12540, 00000, "TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded"
// *Cause: Too many TNS connections open simultaneously.
// *Action: Wait for connections to close and re-try.

PROFILE

#first know which profile is assign to users through above query.

SQL> alter profile default

Profile altered.

alter SESSION_PER_USER limit through above command.
and try to connect.
