TNS-01169: The listener has not recognised the password
Symptom:
When trying to perform some action on the listener (such as enabling tracing) the following error is generated:
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognised the password
Cause:
This is a security feature. Either no password has been supplied or the password is incorrect. The attempted operation is restricted and only intended for use by DBAs.
Remedy:
Specify the necessary password. Assuming the 'lsnrctl' is
being run then the the syntax for this is:
set password <pwd>
This page represents one page of many pages of notes I made whilst working with Oracle 7 through to 10i. I now no longer work with Oracle databases, but hope that these notes will continue to be of benefit to others.
