REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies whether Oracle checks for a password file and how many databases can use the password file.

Values:

• NONE

  Oracle ignores any password file. Therefore, privileged users must be authenticated by the operating system.

• SHARED

  More than one database can use a password file. However, the only user recognized by the password file is SYS.

• EXCLUSIVE

  The password file can be used by only one database and the password file can contain names other than SYS.

  Note: This setting is required for Oracle9i Real Application Clusters
