QUESTION POSED ON: 01 September 2006
I am doing a DR test for my production SAP database. I restored the datafiles and redo log files onto Windows 2000 Server and Oracle 9.2.0.6. I type:
Sqlplus /nolog Connect / as sysdba
At this point we receive the following message:
ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Windows user as ORA_SID_DBA, ORA_SID_OPER privileges exists. All environment variables look good. I saw that the following parameter is set to true: remote_os_authent = true. Please advise on how to fix this issue.
