ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied

Post by slaxman » Fri 31 Aug 2012 19:37

When the password is created with double quotes, devart connection fails with exception message 'ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied'. Oracle allows passwords surrounded by double quotes to allow special characters to be part of password.

This code will result in exception. Please advise.

Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleConnection conn = new Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleConnection();
conn.Server = "hostname";
conn.ServiceName = "myservicename";
conn.Port = 1521;
conn.UserId = "TEST";
conn.Password = "\"Hello!\"";
conn.Direct = true;
conn.Open();

We have reproduced the issue. We will investigate it and notify you about the results as soon as possible.

We have changed the behaviour: the quote symbols will be ignored in the password value in the Direct mode. We will post here when the corresponding build of dotConnect for Oracle is available for download.
As a workaround use the following code:

Code: Select all

conn.Password = "Hello!";

that partly fixes the problem. How would you handle passwords with space in them such as "Hello World!"?

The "Hello World!" password works OK in our environment using the 7.2.77 version of dotConnect for Oracle:

Code: Select all

conn.Password = "Hello World!";
Are you getting any exception?

you are right. There are no exceptions while connecting which I thought might happen because the password had to be double quoted originally while creating the user. Please let us know when the double quote issue (ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
) is fixed.
