Hi,

I got a doofy question, when I launch sqlplus from shell in unix

sqlplus mylogin/mypassword@db1

it returns :

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

the password & login are correct there are no special characters just letters and numbers.

Any idea how to solved it ?

Oracle is really too dumb to lie with "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied"

I believe Oracle better reports reality than you do.

How do we/you know that you are really connect to the DB you think you are connecting to?
Every SQL*Net connection is logging into listener.log file.
Post excerpt from target DB Server that shows you request is getting to the expected listener & database.

>where can I find the log ?

while logged onto DB Server issue OS command below

lsnrctl status

>sqlplus mylogin/mypassword@db1

is above being issued from same system as DB Server?

Did you really try logging in using above? Can you copy paste the SQL*Plus session to show it really succeeded.

What are the contents of your ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file? Are you sure "db1" is the database that you're trying to connect to?
