Can I authenticate database user without connecting to database by passing userid and password.

Suppose I have connected to database as User1.
Can I issue queries with userid and passwords as parameters of other users to check whether they are valid users.

u can see if the user exist or not by looking at dba_users or all_users views .i don't think u can pass password and authenticate.
