Changing the listener password

[Sandman!]

Could you paste part of your "listener.ora" file? Is your password encrypted or clearcase?

hi again,

did you try the "set password" command?

kind regards

Jeff...the command you are trying is actually one string separated by an underscore i.e. "change_password" NOT "change password".

Here's what i got after testing on my box:

======================================================
LSNRCTL> set current_listener
Current Listener is
LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC0)))
Password changed for
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> set password
Password:
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> save_config
LSNRCTL>exit
======================================================

The above scenario is for encrypted passwords only. In case you want clearcase passwords then you need to edit the file and add it there.

hope it helps...

Sandman - you are the king!

Change_password worked! I can't believe that was it - I've been fighting with this for a long time. I'm sure I downloaded doc with change password in it.

Thanks very much.
Jeff
