Oracle-L: Re: OS Authentication on Win2K

run:

select username from dba_users
where password = 'EXTERNAL'

Is there a user that matches the currently logged on Win2k account?

Is it a domain account? It needs to be a local account, as I don't think you can use a domain account without also using 'remote_os_authent=true'.

At least, it doesn't work for me that way. I've only used external auth with local accounts.

        Subject:        OS Authentication on Win2K

I am having problems getting OS authentication to work on a Win2K oracle server (8.1.7.1.1).

All parameters are set properly (from what I can see). There cannot be a prefix so the following parameter is set as follows: os_authent_prefix = ""

I need to be able to log into the server as a user identified externally and
just type sqlplus / for access. It is also necessary for the users identified
externally to be able to use a password as well. Any suggestions? Anyone else run into problems with this?
