Most probably, the parameter REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT is set to FALSE in your initXXXX.ora file. Set it to TRUE, shutdown and startup your database again and it will work if you log in as the same user as you would successfully from the server.

But be aware that everybody who pretends to be that user from any workstation can do the same!
