ORA-28165

proxy 'proxy_user_name' may not specify password-protected role 'role_name' for client 'client_user_name'
  • proxy_user_name: The name of the proxy user.
  • role_name: The name of the password-protected role.
  • client_user_name: The name of the client user.

Cause

A proxy user attempted to activate a role on behalf of a client which has a password associated with it. Since the proxy does not have a password, this activation cannot be allowed.


Action

Attempt to activate a different role or change the role administratively so that there is no password.
