REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE

Property	Description
Parameter type	String
Syntax	REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = { shared | exclusive | none }
Default value	exclusive
Modifiable	No
Basic	Yes
Real Application Clusters	Multiple instances must have the same value.

REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies whether Oracle checks for a password file.

Values:

• shared

  One or more databases can use the password file. The password file can contain SYS as well as non-SYS users.

• exclusive

  The password file can be used by only one database. The password file can contain SYS as well as non-SYS users.

• none

  Oracle ignores any password file. Therefore, privileged users must be authenticated by the operating system.

Note:

When REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to either exclusive or shared, but the password file does not exist, then the behavior is the same as setting REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to none.
