Performance Affected (General)
Waits for "row cache lock"
Security ( Authentication / Privileges / Auditing )
Description

In 11g there is an intentional delay between allowing failed logon
attempts to retry. For some specific application types this can cause
a problem as the row cache entry is locked for the duration of the
delay . This can lead to excessive row cache lock waits for DC_USERS
for specific users / schemas .
 
This "fix" allows the logon delay to be disabled in 11.2.0.1 onwards
by setting event 28401 in the init.ora.
eg:
    event="28401 trace name context forever, level 1" # disable logon delay.-----该事件会禁用登录延迟，一种假死的状态
This "event" will disable the logon sleep delay system-wide,
ie. it will affect all user accounts, system-wide, and so should be used
    with extreme caution.
 
Example scenario:
 A mix of correct and incorrect logon attempts occur for user X
 On each successive failed login attempt the failed logon count
  is incremented for user X.
 
 Without this fix (without the event set):
  After 3 successive failures a sleep delay is introduced starting
   at 3 seconds and extending to 10 seconds max. During each delay
   the user X row cache lock is held in exclusive mode preventing
   any concurrent logon attempt as user X (and preventing any
   other operation which would need the row cache lock for user X).
 
 With the fix (with the event set):
  There is no sleep delay.
 
 In either scenario the configured logon profile rules are still
 applied (eg: The profile option FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS is still
 honoured and so if the account becomes locked due to exceeeding
 this FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS then further attempts to
 log in will then correctly fail immediately with no delay).
 
Note:
 One off fixes for this issue for 11.1.0.7 do not need an event set -
 interim patches for 11.1 disable the delay unconditionally.
 
Work Around:
 Ensure the correct password is used - especially for connection
 intensive logons
