密码错误频繁登陆引起的“library cache lock”或“row cache lock”等待

密码错误频繁登陆引起的”library cache lock”或”row cache lock”等待

对于正常的系统，因为密码的更改，可能存在某些被遗漏的客户端，不断重复尝试使用错误密码登陆数据库，从而引发数据库内部长时间的”library cache lock”或”row cache lock”的等待，这种情形很是常见。这种现象在Oracle 10.2和11.1中体现的等待事件为：”row cache lock”，而在Oracle 11.2中体现的等待事件为：”library cache lock”。

在 Oracle 11g 中，为了提高安全性，Oracle 引入了『密码延迟验证』的新特性。这个特性的做用是，若是用户输入了错误的密码尝试登陆，那么随着登陆错误次数的增长，每次登陆前验证的时间也会增长，以此减缓可能对于数据库重复的口令尝试***。

可是对于正常的系统，因为口令的更改，可能存在某些被遗漏的客户端，不断重复尝试，从而引发数据库内部长时间的 Library Cache Lock的等待，这种情形很是常见。

若是遇到这一类问题，能够经过Event 28401关闭这个特性，从而消除此类影响，如下命令将修改设置在参数文件中：

ALTER SYSTEM SET EVENT =

 '28401 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 1' SCOPE = SPFILE;

出现这类问题很是典型的AWR报告呈现以下，首先在 TOP 5 中，你可能看到显著的 Library Cache Lock 的等待，如下范例来自11.2.0.3.0版本的真实状况：

在这类状况下，时间模型 - Time Model 中会显示以下指标，其中 connection management call elapsed time 占据了主要的DB Time，这个等待直接代表是在创建数据库链接时产生的：

这类问题，在Oracle的11g中是常见和肯定的，在MOS上能够找到相应的记录：High 'library cache lock' Wait Time Due to Invalid Login Attempts(1309738.1）此外Oracle 11g开启了密码大小写验证，若是从Oracle 10g升级过来，须要特别的小心这个变化，经过初始化参数SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON 能够来控制这个特性。

APPLIES TO:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.2.0.5 and later  
Information in this document applies to any platform.  

SYMPTOMS

 

• 'Library cache lock' or 'row cache lock' can be observed when concurrent users login with wrong password to the database.
• The 'row cache lock' is seen in 10.2 and 11.1 while the 'library cache lock' is seen in 11.2.
• ASH Report displays
  • High Percentage of execution time attributed to Connection Management:
    
    
    
  • High percentage of calls of type OAUTH
    
    
    
    
• Stack contains one of the following functions: 
  

  kziavua
  kziaia  
  kziasfc

   
• Checking the exclusive holder from DBA_DDL_LOCKS,  a session may be seen holding a lock type (kglhdnsp) 79 on object (kglnaobj) 5:
  

  SQL> select * from dba_ddl_locks where mode_held='Exclusive';

   SESSION_ID OWNER     NAME       TYPE       MODE_HELD MODE_REQU

  ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------

         612           5          79         Exclusive None

 

• If AUDIT_TRAIL is enabled, login failures can be checked by running SQLs similar to the following:
  

  Checks for entries in the last 7 days in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL with error ORA-1017  invalid username/password; logon denied

  select username, os_username, userhost, client_id, trunc(timestamp), count(*) fa
  iled_logins
  from  dba_audit_trail
  where returncode = 1017
  and timestamp > sysdate - 7
  group by username, os_username, userhost, client_id, trunc(timestamp);

  
  Checks for entries in the last 7 days in DBA_AUDIT_SESSION where an error was returned

  select username, os_username, userhost, timestamp, returncode
  from sys.dba_audit_session
  where returncode != 0 
  and timestamp > sysdate - 7;

  
  

CHANGES

Many users with wrong password try to login to the database simultaneously

CAUSE

A hang is possible in earlier versions of RDBMS as a result of an unpublished bug fixed in the following versions:

    12.1.0.1 (Base Release)
    11.2.0.2 (Server Patch Set)
    11.1.0.7 Patch 42 on Windows Platforms

Document 9776608.8    Bug 9776608 - Hang from concurrent login to same account with a wrong password  

Even with this fix, numerous failed logins attempts can cause row cache lock waits and/or library cache lock waits. 

This was reported in:

Bug 11742803    LOTS OF 'LIBRARY CACHE LOCK' DURING USER LOGON AUTHENTICATION  

This was closed as not a bug because there is an intentional wait when a login fails.

SOLUTION

In Oracle 11g Release 11.1.0.7,  the wait is disabled unconditionally

In Oracle 11g Release 2 and higher, in order to disable the wait between login failures the event 28401 needs to be explicitly enabled:

The event can be set as follows:

alter system set event ="28401 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 1" scope=spfile;  

To unset the event, set as follows:

SQL> Alter system set event= '28401 trace name context off' scope=spfile ;

For more information see:

Document:7715339.8    Logon failures causes "row cache lock" waits - Allow disable of logon delay  

The following functions match per above bug:  

nanosleep nanosleep kziasfc kpolnb kpoauth

Note: Care should be taken when setting this event, as this is disabling the sleep time which can leave the system more vulnerable.  

For databases using MTS, a further enhancement has been created in: 

Bug 19867671    - LIBRARY CACHE LOCK CAUSED BY WRONG PASSWORD LOGIN <=====This bug is superseded by following bug:  
Bug 20016491    : DB12.2SEC: LOCK_DATE NOT RESET EVEN AFTER A/C UNLOCKED POST PWD_LOCK_TIME ELAPSE  

as setting the event is not as effective as it is for dedicated systems. The following enhancement is included in 12.2:

"The failed login counter will be disabled entirely for any user that has the setting UNLIMITED for their account's FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS password profile setting."
