Saminathan,

How dare you post such a message with that subject line.

Here is my response, which you will not appreciate highly:

read the fscking manual.

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/secure.htm#2193

how does oracle address it?
by having it as configurable by a clueful administrator. you have a long way to go, apparently, before you'd reach that category.

btw - I won't be able to read your reply, as your address is now filtered by me.

"A secure system makes data available to authorized users, without delay. Denial-of-service attacks are attempts to block authorized users’ ability to access and use the system when needed."

By using user-profile one can lock DB users if he/she provides wrong password 3 times. Then DBA has to unlock the users to make it work. By knowing DB userid somebody can lock the DB users (by providing wrong password 3 times) so that when the actual user try to loing it will block him/her to access the db.

How does oracle address this "Denial Of Service" ?

Any response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
