How about a password validation function which always returns FALSE?

Subject: User passwords

List:

We have a user "viewer" account for an internal application. We want to make sure that no one can change the password of this account even if they are signed on as that account - because it will obviously affect others using the internal application. We only want a DBA account to be able to change this user's password. I realize all of the security issues with the set-up as it is, but that's what I have to work with now.

I have researched several Oracle manuals and looked into using Oracle Label Security and product_user_profile. Metalink support does not have a solution for this issue. There seems to be many ways to have users change their passwords and to force complexity of their passwords - but no way to stop them from changing the password.

Is there a solution within Oracle? Has anyone else faced an issue like this or am I dealing with a "unique and unusual problem"?

Thanks to all...
