"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" while starting up asm

"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" while starting up asm

Symptoms :

I. ASM instance can be started manually using sqlplus "/as sysasm" but the CRSD fails to start

Cause :

sqlnet.ora has below entry set

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=none

Solution :

CRS uses OS authentication method to connect ASM instance. Remove AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES parameter, if any, set in sqlnet.ora.
