Why not use Kerberos [1] as your database authentication mechanism?
Once you change your principal's password in the Kerberos realm, then
all of your systems will be up to date. No more pushing. But you'll
have to manage the wallets and pay for the Advanced Security Option.
You also have Kerberos in Oracle Database Enterprise User Security [2].
