Nevermind, it seems that the ora_client_ip_address attribute is not provided with after servererror

Dianna,

You could setup an "after server error" trigger to monitor the failed logins:

To: 'Oracle-L_at_FreeLists.org'; Dianna Gibbs Subject: IP auditing for unsuccessful connections

We have a new application that is multi-tiered with connections coming from many different windows and websphere servers. We've recently completed a new upgrade/install with several changes in servers.  Each environment has four databases, so we have a total of 16 databases for this application (TST, DEV,STG,PRD).

Oracle 11.1.0.7 on AIX.

Something is constantly locking an oracle user account in two different databases (one prd, one tst). 

I'm trying to troubleshoot which servers have the incorrect passwords.   We've looked at log files, etc. and vendor cannot determine.

I'm looking at AUDIT SESSION and understand it will show both successful and unsuccessful login attempts.

I also saw the Login Trigger SYS_CONTEXT.

I was wondering if someone had used either successful to catch unsuccessful logins or had another suggestion on best way to monitor and troubleshoot this issue?  We don't need this turned on long-term, just until we can catch which server has incorrect password.

Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions. Dianna G.
