Or ... If I can add to Justin's idea... Make the password function only work if 
the user doing the changing is the dba, so you don't have to enable / disable 
it.

IE

IF user = 'DBA' then
....
else
   raise;
end if;

Can you create a password complexity function that always indicates that the 
new password fails for this user?  The DBA could then remove the password 
complexity function when it was time to change the password.

Subject: User passwords





List:

We have a user "viewer" account for an internal application.  We want to make 
sure that no one can change the password of this account even if they are 
signed on as that account - because it will obviously affect others using the 
internal application.  We only want a DBA account to be able to change this 
user's password.  I realize all of the security issues with the set-up as it 
is, but that's what I have to work with now.

I have researched several Oracle manuals and looked into using Oracle Label 
Security and product_user_profile.  Metalink support does not have a solution 
for this issue. There seems to be many ways to have users change their 
passwords and to force complexity of their passwords - but no way to stop them 
from changing the password.

Is there a solution within Oracle?  Has anyone else faced an issue like this or 
am I dealing with a "unique and unusual problem"?

Thanks to all...
