PRIMARY

 Following checks were done and passed 

1. Check where the Password File is located :

a. If within '$ORACLE_HOME/dbs", then File naming should be as "orapw$ORACLE_SID" (example : orapwORCL)

    For RAC, need to ensure that correct ORACLE_SID/INSTANCE_NAME is reflecting in the Password File Name of each instance (orapw$ORACLE_SID => example : orapwORCL1, orapwORCL2)

b. Password File within ASM Disk Group and registered in OCR

    Check the output of "$ srvctl config database -d <db_unique_name>" to see if Password File field is populated

2. Checksum of Password Files at Primary and Standby should match

    Check the output of "md5sum orapwORCL" at each Node of Primary and Standby

3. remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE

4. sec_case_sensitive_logon=TRUE

    If set to TRUE, then ensure that password file is created with option IGNORECASE=N
    If set to FALSE, then ensure that password file is created with option IGNORECASE=Y
