That's what we do.  shutdown the standby and copy over the password file.  
Never had a problem.

At our place, we just copied the password file before the next redo log 
transport and log shipping was ok

All,

We have a need to change the sys user password in primary . and we have 
recently put a standby in place.

so what will be the recommended way to change the sys user password so that it 
wont break the physical standby .

on 11g doc it says
9.3.7 Refresh the Password File

If the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE database initialization parameter is set to 
SHARED or EXCLUSIVE, the password file on a physical standby database must be 
replaced with a fresh copy from the primary database after granting or revoking 
administrative privileges or changing the password of a user with 
administrative privileges.

Failure to refresh the password file on the physical standby database MAY  
cause authentication of redo transport sessions or connections as SYSDBA or 
SYSOPER to the physical standby database to fail.



however  it says it may cause to fail  which confuses me .
appreciate any suggestion.

thanks
Kart
