Can the SYS user account be locked in Oracle?
Suppose I change the SYS user’s password and then somebody enters the wrong password more than ten times. Will the account be locked?
I don’t want to change sys dba_profile. How I do allow anybody to enter the wrong password for SYS more than ten times without locking the account?
The SYS account can never be locked. It’s “special”. In general, you shouldn’t login as SYS, ever, except to do system maintenance that requires it.
Hope that helps.
