Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> O8i on Linux: identified externally
Hello out there,
I cannot get the OS authentification to work on my Oracle 8i 8.1.5.0.1
installation on Linux.
I have a Linux user called 'la'. So I logged into Oracle as system and did
create user la identified externally default tablespace ... grant connect to la;
Now from another xterm I try the following:
sqlplus la
(I'm logged in as la)
But it asks for a password. What do I do wrong? I did not find a solution
in the docs. Do I have to set some environment variables?
I even tried to create a Linux user 'LA' but LInux gives some strange
results with that. Then I tried an Oracle user in lower case:
create user "la" ...
But it did not work either.
Who can help?
Thanks in advance,
Lothar
