D'Oh! I forgot to mention there has to be an OS user with the same name as the oracle user, the oracle user prefixed with OS_AUTHENTICATION_PREFIX. So if you have a login to the OS as Wyatt, there would have to be an oracle user name OPS$WYATT.

Note also you wouldn't want to have remote users from insecure operating systems using this.
