Am I having a brain cramp?
On versions prior to V11, AFAIK schema passwords are/were case insensitive.
Right?
Now on V11 I'm seeing the following:
10:53:51 SQL> CONNECT DBADMIN/ADMINDB
Connected.
10:54:04 SQL> CONNECT dbadmin/ADMINDB
Connected.
10:55:16 SQL> SELECT * FROM V$VERSION;

BANNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
CORE    11.1.0.6.0      Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production

10:55:58 SQL> CONNECT dbadmin/admindb
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied


Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
11:00:07 SQL> 

Did the default behavior for case sensitity of passwords change between V10 & V11?
If so, where is the documented? I've looked for more than 1 hour.
If so, can the new behavior be overridden or reverted to prior behavior & how?

TIA & HAND!

Yes it changes in 11g.
Before Oracle used DES encryption after converting to upper case now it directly uses SHA-1 algorithm.

[Hmm, it's a "security" question not a "SQL newbies", isn't it?]
