I have followed the below step guide(URL) to setup Oracle on Mac OS. Everything is fine on the guest side. But, I am facing some issues in host level.

I can connect database in Guest (Virtual box) but, when I tried to open the connection from host then I got a below error message.

"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied.

Note: I am unable to do the step to stop the firewall on Guest.

  • How You configure guest network? (NAT, bridge or etc) if NAT (default) - did You setup port forwarding? if Bridge - change tnsname and tnslistener from listen 127.0.0.1 to real guest address

You can manual check password for HR (if You want - force SET it oracle) Firewall is not important moment, because Oracle return You exactly error text

if all correct, it must be:

macbookva:instantclient_11_2 vladimir$ sqlplus HR/oracle@XE
