TPAM Commands for Oracle • Test System - TPAM opens a connection to the database server using the username/password of the functional account. If the connection can be established, the test is successful; otherwise, it is considered a failure.
• Check Password - TPAM opens a connection to the database server using the username/password of the account being checked. If the connection can be established, the test is successful. If not, TPAM then connects to the database using the functional account. If the connection is successful, then TPAM assumes a password mismatch for the account. Otherwise, an “Unable to connect” result is returned.
• Change Password – TPAM connects to the database using the username/password of the functional account and executes “alter user xxx identified by yyy” to change the account’s password. The authentication is encrypted, but the text of the SQL is sent in clear text. yyy is the new password.
