Additional Requirements for Oracle 12c Release 2 and Oracle 19c

Before installing the server components (and QSA), specify a password version for the database by performing the following procedure.

1. First, to verify that this procedure is necessary for the target database, run the following query:

   select username, password_versions

   from dba_users

   where username = 'SPACER'

   Note: Username is the installation DBA.

2. If results returned include "10G, 11G, 12c" in the PASSWORD VERSIONS column, then this procedure is not necessary for this database.
3. If results do not include 10G, you must perform this procedure for the target database.
4. Open the SQLNET.ORA file for the target database.

5. Enter the following:

   SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=8

   SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=8

   BEQUEATH_DETACH=YES

6. Save the SQLNET.ORA file.

7. Add the below command in the listener.ora file.

   USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_<oracle-sid>=on

8. Stop and restart the listener. Use the following commands:

   lsnrctl stop

   lsnrctl start

   The listener may take a few minutes to fully restart.

9. Alter the password for the installation DBA to a temporary password and then back again to reset it, for example:

   alter user spacer identified by X;

   alter user spacer identified by spacer;

10. Reset the sys password using alter, for example:

    alter user sys identified by syspassword;

11. Now run the query again to verify the change.

    select username, password_versions

    from dba_users

    where username = 'SPACER'

    Note: Username is the installation DBA.

12. You can also verify the change for the sys user.

    select username, password_versions

    from dba_users

    where username = 'SYS'

13. If results returned from the queries include "10G, 11G, 12c" in the PASSWORD VERSIONS column, the password version was successfully set.
