You might want to read the DBA manual that discusses this. There are a few implications, conditions, settings, assumptions and concerns.
The relevant section starts at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/dba.htm#ADMIN11040 - in partcular, look at Figure 1-2 and the section "Selecting an Authentication Method for Database Administrators".
See also http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e36292/authentication.htm#DBSEG99824 and see a related Forum discussion at https://community.oracle.com/thread/2190725?tstart=0
