APPLSYS password using ALTER command in database directly

FNDCPASS SCENARIOS

--------------------------------

 There can be situation where users has

Updated APPLSYS password using ALTER command in database directly and also you dont have backup of those tables.

Under such situation,

 it is very difficult to recover the application and make it working. Still following methodology is proposed which might help you to restore the password back and make your application work fine.

For this to work you should have some other application (may be debug or UAT) which is having the same passwords or default passwords for schemas.

If you have such application the following the below steps in the application which is affected by password mismatch.

This method is for resetting apps and applsys passwords. Below are the SQL statements that will help you

reset

-the APPS and APPLSYS passwords to APPS,

-the APPLSYSPUB password to PUB, and

-the SYSADMIN password to SYSADMIN.

WARNING: This procedure will cause all user passwords to become invalid. ALL users passwords will need to be reset through the sysadmin responsibility.

Step 1) Reset the Oracle User IDs

Open a SQL*Plus as SYSTEM and reset the passwords for the APPS, APPLSYS, and the APPLSYSPUB Oracle user ID:

ALTER USER apps IDENTIFIED BY apps;

ALTER USER applsys IDENTIFIED BY apps;

ALTER USER applsyspub IDENTIFIED BY pub;

Step 2) Backup the FND_ORACLE_USERID and FND_USER tables (even though these tables are right now corrupted, do take a backup. You can restore the same when ever you want).

Open a SQL*Plus session as APPLSYS and backup the tables:

create table FND_ORACLE_USERID_BAK as (select * from FND_ORACLE_USERID);

create table FND_USER_BAK as (select * from FND_USER);

Step 3) Reset the APPS and APPLSYS application encrypted passwords

Open a SQL*Plus session as APPLSYS and update the FND_ORACLE_USERID table.

update FND_ORACLE_USERID

set ENCRYPTED_ORACLE_PASSWORD = ‘ZGA34EA20B5C4C9726CC95AA9D49EA4DBA8EDB705CB7673E645EED570D5447161491D78D444554655B87486EF537ED9843C8′

where ORACLE_USERNAME in (‘APPS’, ‘APPLSYS’);

commit;

This encrypted string we are updating is the default encrypted string for apps. So if your application is having apps password the encrypted string will look like this. We are updating this encrypted string here directly.

Verify the table update:

select ENCRYPTED_ORACLE_PASSWORD

from FND_ORACLE_USERID

where ORACLE_USERNAME IN (‘APPS’, ‘APPLSYS’);

Step 4) Reset the APPLSYSPUB application encrypted password

Open a SQL*Plus session as APPLSYS and update the FND_ORACLE_USERID table.

update FND_ORACLE_USERID

set ENCRYPTED_ORACLE_PASSWORD = ‘ZG31EC3DD2BD7FB8AD2628CE87DDDF148C1D2F248BE88BE987FDF82830228A88EF44BC78BC7A9FAD4BFB8F09DAD49DF7280E’

where ORACLE_USERNAME = (‘APPLSYSPUB’);

commit;

The above encrypted string is the encrypted string for password pub. If your applsyspub password is pub then the encrypted string in FND_ORACLE_USERID will look like this.

Verify the table update:

select ENCRYPTED_ORACLE_PASSWORD

from FND_ORACLE_USERID

where ORACLE_USERNAME = ‘APPLSYSPUB’;

Once these updates are done, try your luck by running FNDCPASS and it should work fine.

Hope this help !!!
