If users login to a domain rather than locally on the server then you need to create an oracle account similar to

create user DOMAIN\username identified externally.

Conversation: OPS$ login to Oracle7 under NT Subject: OPS$ login to Oracle7 under NT

I have a problem implementing an OPS$ login to Oracle Workgroup Server 7.3.4
running on Windows NT domain. I set the prefix to none, and enabled remote
OS authentication, so I have these two lines in initxxxx.ora:

OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = "" (set of double quotes) REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = TRUE The intent is for any logged on NT user to connect to the database by using
only a "/" instead of his/her username/password, followed by @database_alias. For example, from inside SQL*Plus, this would be a "connect / @dbalias" command

Of course, users, with usernames matching these in the NT domain and identified externally, have been added to the database.

I still cannot connect. What am I doing wrong? I remember that under Unix
this was a piece of cake.
