You can see password in ‘listener.ora’ with parameter PASSWORDS_VIS in Encrypted format like,
#—-ADDED BY TNSLSNR 31-Jul-2008 13:45:55—
PASSWORDS_VSEC = D911537D50B15546

LISTENER CONFIGURED WITH PASSWORD SUCCESSFULLY
To check,start and stop listener,
LSNRCTL> set password
password:
LSNRCTL > stop VIS [or] status VIS [or] start VIS
LSNRCTL > EXIT
Even though one can remove listener password by editing the listener.ora file,To avoid this add ADMIN_RESTRICTIONS_”=ON
Once doing this go to
LSNRCTL>set password
LSNRCTL>Enter Password : ********
LSNRCTL>reload
To Password Protect Oracle applications Listener,we have to the Follow the document
How to enable/disable/change password of the listeners for Oracle Applications 11i-386374.1
There are some bugs when password protecting 8.0.6 listener.
I am getting an error while password protecting application listener,will share that issue once I able to resolve that..
The Document 386374.1 mentioned has been updated on 22-Aug-07 and added Setting up password for MidTier Listener.For this we need to run the following
$AD_TOP/bin/addlnctl.pl contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE enablepassword
It will Change the entry s_enable_listener_password to “ON” and adds entry on
listener.ora file.
Starting and stopping listener is the same way,and we no need to provide password while executing adalnctl.sh
Any Comments…
