We have had no problems with passwords not working going between 10 and 11; however, if you the client is still using 10g then you need to disable case sensitive passwords -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of D'Hooge Freek Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 8:55 AM To: niall.litchfield@xxxxxxxxx; stmontgo@xxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Migrate users from 10-11 Niall, It is true that the hash changed in 11 (with case sensitive passwords now), but the old hashes are still accepted. I think there is even a flag that tells you if this the password is using the old or the new method.
