what about simple OS authentication as described in http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/OsAuthentication.php

Then you just delegate the authentication to the OS account for the app. Depending on your setup, including whether or not you have a specfic OS-level account for the app (or can even create OS accounts) this may be easier or harder. Received on Tue Jan 23 2007 - 17:16:51 CST
