Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Auth fails in Thin mode while SQL*Plus/Thick clients connect fine.
- Context

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [python-oracledb Thin mode] 'DPY-3015: password verifier type 0x939 is not supported by python-oracledb in thin mode' — account only has a 10G password verifier
Recommended action: Ensure sec_case_sensitive_logon is not FALSE (pre-21c), then reset the user's password (ALTER USER x IDENTIFIED BY y) to generate newer verifiers; or use Thick mode.
Option: Regenerate the password verifier [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. DBA: select username from dba_users where password_versions in ('10G ','10G HTTP ')
2. ALTER USER <u> IDENTIFIED BY <new password>
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
