About Verifying a Remote Database Using Encrypted Passwords
Learn how to verify a remote database using encrypted passwords.
With Oracle Database, the password used to verify a remote database connection is automatically encrypted. Whenever a user attempts a remote login, Oracle Database encrypts the password before sending it to the remote database. If the connection fails, then the failure is noted in the operating system audit log.
Note:
The configuration parameter ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN
is retained for backward compatibility and is set to true
by default.
