Re: Failed login attempts

1. change the initializaion parameter audit_trail to be:

audit_trail=db
shutdown and restart database

2. connect to the database as a user that has the privilege "AUDIT SYSTEM" and enter

audit session whenever not successful

at this point you can see these unsuccessful logins by monitoring the dba_audit_trail view.
