Hi

Once of the oracle user is getting locked frequently. Is there a way I can find out which OS user or Machine is locking the oracle user account ?

Put the result of:

show parameter audit
select USER_NAME, AUDIT_OPTION, SUCCESS, FAILURE from DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS order by 1, 2, 3, 4;

Don't forget to previously read How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

inspect content of listener.log file for connection request to that Oracle user

I did not see any row in the table DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS, though the user got locked.

I also verified the listener.log informations. It does not captured any information about the OS user/ any system Informations. From the database I am able to Query which oracle user is locked. But I need the OS user / System information from which the oracle user is getting locked.

1/ I posted 2 commands and I ask you to COPY AND PASTE their execution in SQL*Plus.
2/ If you have no rows in DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS then logon are not audited, this was the purpose of my question.

What does this mean exactly? There is no line in your listener.log or there are lines but they do not contain the information you want?
COPY AND PASTE one such line if it exists.

Frankly, if you were really looking at the listener log (/u01/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/<servername>/listener/trace/listener.log) then you simply didn't know what you were looking for.

Here is an entry from a connection attempt on my personal test system:

27-FEB-2016 07:57:02 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=tulsa)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\app\client\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_1\bin\sqlplus.exe)(HOST=MY-NB-04)(USER=ed))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.56.1)(PORT=59234)) * establish * tulsa * 0

As far as the listener was concerned, the request was successful because the listener was able to spawn a dedicated server process. But after that, the database rejected the request because I had supplied a bad password. The listener didn't care about the rejection because by the time that happened, the listener had done its job and was out of the picture. But notice that it recorded the requestor's host name and user name ((HOST=MY-NB-04)(USER=ed)). You can query dba_users.lock_date and find a listener.log entry that matches that date/time, and there is your guilty party.

Thanks Stevens. Probably I was not able to read this log file earlier. Now I am able to match the log file information with the data available in dba_users. This helps.
