Suppose a user sam with password sam. I created a password file. Orapwd file:abc.com password:boy entries:10. Now if user sam needs to do sysdba activity so sam needs to give which password sam or boy. Lastly is this password file used for remote users only and when database closed or database open also
Hi,
When the password you give when you create the password file is the sys password, so it cannot be sam's password.
password file is used to check remote connections as sysdba - wether the database is open or not.
You may have cases where the password si different in database and in password file (if you copy an old password file for example) and then: password file password is used for sysdba connections and database password is used for non-sysdba connections.
But when you change password with alter user, then both are changed.

An example of this would be Oracle Grid/Enterprise Manager starting and stopping a database.
Users connecting remotely that need to run SYSDBA or SYSOPER tasks must use the password stored in the password file.
