That's what I thought was wanted, so the user running it could change their own
password. Maybe I misread somewhere along the line.

That will run using the roles of the person who calls it, not the
roles of the user that owns it. :)

What about adding “authid current_user” as part of the create or replace

Still getting insufficient privileges and I know the user has "alter user
privileges" since I can do it from command line in the database.

I'll try that, thanks.

I don't believe you alter the current user in a procedure. Why not just
create the procedure as owned by a privileged user and grant execute of the

Oracle Enterprise version 12.1.0.2
We have a new requirement to allow users to change their passwords, even if
expired and/or account is locked. Per the requirements, I have created the
new user (not allowed DBA privs) that will connect through a GUI and execute
a password change procedure in another schema that has the necessary
privileges. This new user has been granted execute privileges on the
procedure. However, I'm getting an "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error
when I try to execute the procedure as the new user.
I'm new to writing PL/SQL, so I found an example and have been trying to
tweak it to meet our requirements. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I
did grant "alter user" to the new user, but I'm not sure I really need that
and it didn't make a difference to the error.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE haalochangepassword(
p_username IN VARCHAR2,
p_password IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
-- Check for system users here and reject
IF UPPER(p_username) IN ('PRIVUSER','SYS','SYSTEM') THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Password change not allowed');
ELSE
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET current_schema = PRIVUSER';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER USER '||p_username||' IDENTIFIED BY '
||p_password||' ACCOUNT UNLOCK';
dbms_output.put_line('Password change successful');
END IF;
EXCEPTION
when NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
raise_application_error(-20000,'No user found');
when others THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Password change procedure error: ' || sqlerrm);
END;
