The issue was very confusing that I could not connect to the oracle from both arcmap or arcgis pro however I was able to connect to the database from sql developer. The oracle client was properly configured since I was able to make connection to the other database from both arcmap and arcgispro.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>This issue took a while to get resolved since there was no support on the ESRI blog exactly to the my case(or may be I was unable to search that) and arcgis was not showing a details with error code. Putting it here so that it may help if someone encounters the same.</P><P>Solution:</P><P>The issue was in the database user password, it was carrying an special character '@' which I request the database admin to change, doing so I was able to connect to the oracle from arcmap and eventually created the ArcSDE. Hope this helpful.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 11 Oct 2022 09:42:28 GMT junaidjawaid 2022-10-11T09:42:28Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/bad-login-user-while-connecting-to-oracle-from/idi-p/1220616 <P>Hi everyone,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I recently encountered an issue while creating an ArcSDE on a new server, it was throwing me bad login error while executing Create Enterprise Geodatabase tool.
