Symptoms
On 12c, in a Oracle Multitenant environment, attempting to change an Oracle common user in the PDB results in the following error
SQL> alter user SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR identified by ABC123;
alter user SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR identified by ABC123
*
ERROR at line 1: ORA-65066: The specified changes must apply to all containers
If we modify the SQL statement to include "container=all" we now get the following error
SQL> alter user SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR identified by ABC123 container=all;
alter user SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR identified by SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR container=all

ERROR at line 1:
