Re: NT Authentication with Solaris Oracle Server

James,

Yes it is possible to use REMOTE OS Authentication across platforms. Note that I said REMOTE OS and not just OS Authentication. You will need to modify the parameter in the Solaris init.ora file.

select name from v$parameter where name like '%remote%os%';

to get the actual parameter name, it should be boolean.
