We have to connect to 2 schemas on the same instance.
When I set up the server connection the first time using this server syntax.
PARIEL=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=SESKOVLGDBP23.mycompany.net)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PARIEL)))
I am asked for the credentials.
When I come to create a different connection to the same instance, but using different credentials...it sees that the server is the same, and just automatically logs me in with the old credentials.
Surely you can have 2 connections to the same instance using 2 different credentials? We do this in Spotfire all the time, so assume it is possible.
Thanks

I'm trying to see if I can use VS Code to connect to the Oracle databases we use at my job. I installed the Oracle Developer tools extension for VS Code, but when I click to add a connection it is required that I use a service name.
VS Code Oracle Connection Form
Does anyone know of a way I can use SID instead of a Service Name? All of our connections use SID.
I've tried the different options for connection type, however they all ask for fields that are not required of me to connect to the db. I've also used the SID as the Service Name, but was still unsuccessful in connecting.
All of our connections use SID.
is something you should be looking at addressing as a side project. Services over SID became recommended in Oracle 8i (yeah you read that right...20 years ago)
But every database has an implicit service name equivalent to the SID so just entering the SID value should still get you connected without issue.
Of course, now that we're in the world of pluggable databases, this will pretty much force your organisation to move to services, because the SID is typically going to point to the root container whereas you will want to connect to the pluggable(s) that sit underneath it.
I'm trying to setup a S2S VPN connection between Oracle Cloud and Azure. I am able to get the connection up and it is connected on both ends. After around an hour the Oracle Cloud side dies and the IP-sec status is down on the Oracle side. The Azure side is still in connected state.
I suspected some issue with the IPsec policy so i have played around with different policies but all with the same result.
The connection comes up, and dies on Oracle side after around an hour.
I have cross references the settings with both IPsec config support matrixes.

I reached out to OCI support and they got this PFS2 Group changed from Group5 on the OCI side within 2hrs. Granted it takes almost 20mins to open up a ticket with all of the OCID info but the Sev1 Team got it done quick.
We are able to fix the issue by updating the PFS group to 2 Oracle side.
I reached out to Oracle and they managed to change the setting for Perfect Forward Secrecy
(PFS) to support the preferred Azure PFS setting (PFS 2). This stabilized the connection.
I have a Tableau (reporting) server on Windows 10 that internally uses PostgresDB. Besides I have a PostgresDB, where my data is located, so reports are aggregated using this data.
What should our end-user experience? - He or she opens in a web browser a report by url and see the data.
For some reason from time to time our end-users face with the problem:
could not receive data from server: Software caused connection abort
(0x00002745/10053) Unable to connect to the server "server_name".
Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges
to the requested database.
This problem arises with different reports and in different time. Moreover, when I do not fix it for a long time, this report may start to work again.
There is no firewall or antivirus on Windows where Tableau server is, but there is a VPN.
What has helped?
Pgbouncer has solved it problem partially. By partially I mean that during 2 weeks of exploitation this error has only once occurred instead of 3 times per day by using pure Postgres.
Restart of Tableau server solves this problem as well.
Accidental loose of Internet connection on Tableau server also may help with this problem.
What have I also checked?
1) When everything is fine, in Pgbouncer logs I can see that queries are loading when I interact with a report, otherwise (when there is this error) no logs are recorded. So Tableau Postgres can't connect to Postgres with data for some reasons.
2) When I connect manually to PostgresDB from the Tableau Postgres, then everything is fine and all queries were executed, while end-clients face with the problem interacting via web browser.
3) When I type in CMD in Tableau Server (windows): netstat -nao | find PostgresDB:5432, in normal case I see many TCP connections with different PIDs except one PID which is executed from 2 different ports on Tableau Server, however all of them are tabprotosrv.exe; in case when it fails I see only one PID which is executed from 2 different ports on Tableau Server.
So I have 2 main questions
1. How to solve it normally?
2. Or what should I check else?
I have set up an externally identified user for our Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) database like this:
CREATE USER "OPS$DOMAIN\USER" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
Now I am trying to connect from a 10.2.0.1 sqlplus client using
connect /#TNS_NAME;
however I get
Invalid username/password.
[Edited]
Here is all the information I can currently give on this issue:
There are two virtualized Windows 2003 Servers, each running their own Oracle 10.2.0.3 database
There are two virtualized Windows XP Clients with the Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
All four machines are on the same virtual host and within the same domain
The same user is used to log in on both clients
Client 1 can use OS authentication to connect to Server 1
Client 1 cannot connect to Server 2 with OS authentication
Client 2 cannot connect to either database server with OS authentication
Both Clients can connect to either database server with schema owner/password
Four months ago, Client 2 could connect to Client 2 with OS authentication. I cannot tell if Client1->Server2 and Client2->Server1 worked, but I am almost certain it did.
Things I have considered:
I double checked the os_authent_prefix, which is "OPS$"
I tried recreating the user, and made sure everything was written in caps (we had problems in the past when we didn't have all caps)
I tried granting the create session privilege (someone suggested that somewhere; didn't help)
What could I be missing / What else could I try?
PS: Database security is not a concern here; I know OS Authentication is kind of insecure.
Since the problem is happening at the client can you please check the below parameter in sqlnet.ora file in the client machine
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
Even after that it does not work you can refer this article on os-authentication to check if any step is missing
We are trying to shape up an old, 2 tier, Delphi based application. It originally uses database authentication, we'd like to transform the db user accounts to global users, so an OID server could perform the authentication instead of the database.
The Delphi program can no longer log into the database if the account is a global user. I'm trying to understand the login protocol, so far without results.
Similar thing happens with SQLDeveloper, I can't connect as a global user. SQLPlus however works with both kinds of users. We checked the information flow with Wireshark. When the dbserver asks back for a password, the SQLPlus sends it, while the SQLDeveloper doesn't send a password when attempting to connect as a global user.
The client sends the application name too in the login request. Is it possible that we have to store the client app name in the LDAP itself?
To connect to Oracle using OID, application must properly configure OCI (Oracle Call Interface). The data access components (which one ?), you are using, must set OCI_ATTR_DISTINGUISHED_NAME session attribute. If that is not done, then you will be not able to connect to Oracle server using ODI and OCI.
You should check your components documentation for this feature. And if it is not implemented, then discuss this issue with the components vendor. Actually, there is not much work to implement, but some work to setup testing environment is required ...
