ORA-28001: the password has expired
Written on 29 June 2009 – 11:48 by savas
If you are facing a problem in your RMAN backups:
ORA-28001: the password has expired
As stated, your rman user’s password has expired. You should either change the password, and of course change password in every RMAN script as well.
Or you can do something like this:
1. Create a new profile which has no password expiry
2. Alter your rman user to the new profile
sqlplus /as sysdba
CREATE PROFILE rman_PROFILE
LIMIT
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
alter user rman PROFILE rman_PROFILE;
Now, you can retry your backup.
