I hope somebody can help with this at-the-last-possible-moment glitch
in the above installation.

In short, everything worked fine except the optional configuration
manager configuration.

Some jeee error or other.

So this is what I'm concerned with:

I ran sqlplus and entered as username sys@orcl2 which is the sid as
the installer told me,
and entered the password that I had supplied for 'administrator'
during the installation.

I got the message you should login to sys as sysdba or sysoper.

So I tried, using the same password.

But it said invalid username/password.

What effing password should I use if not the only password they asked
me for, for 'administrator'?

Regards,

last-ditch Ken

What I meant was I was not concerned with the error trying to
configure the configuration manager
since the installation was complete and it was optional anyway. But I
AM concerned with being
able to login as admin so I can create users and do the stuff I need
to do.

Regards again,

I think I'm ok. I logged in as system w/ that password and got in and
was able to create a user.

You are probably missing orapw$ORACLE_SID file. First of all, you cannot
connect just using sys/password@tns, you must connect to SYS as SYSDBA,
like this:

[mgogala@medo ~]$ sqlplus /nolog

In order to do that over the net, you need the following file:
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID

ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 1536 Sep 8 15:48 /oracle/product/11.2.0/
dbhome_1/dbs/orapwO11

There is a utility called orapwd which is normally used to create the
password file. However, you mentioned logging in as "administrator", so I
figured out that you're using the One Platform To Rule Them All, in the
land of Redmond, where the shadows lie. Things may be different in Mordor,
I don't really know much about that platform.
