Re: OPS$ login under NT

How are you creating your Oracle Users.

You should use IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY option while creating Oracle users.

Example:-

Create user manoj identified externally;

Make sure the users are created this way, else this it wont work.

Also make sure Oracle User Name is same as Operating System User Name.

Hope this helps,
