REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE

Property	Description
Parameter type	String
Syntax	`REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = { shared \| exclusive \| none }`
Default value	`exclusive`
Modifiable	No
Basic	Yes
Oracle RAC	Multiple instances must have the same value.

REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies whether Oracle checks for a password file.

Values:

shared

One or more databases can use the password file. The password file can contain SYS as well as non-SYS users.
exclusive

The password file can be used by only one database. The password file can contain SYS as well as non-SYS users.
none

Oracle ignores any password file. Therefore, privileged users must be authenticated by the operating system.

Notes:

When REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to either exclusive or shared, but the password file does not exist, then the behavior is the same as setting REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to none.
If you change REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to exclusive or shared from none, then ensure that the password file is in sync with the dictionary passwords. See Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for more information.
