Hello Rick,
unfortunately it does not solve the problem. I tried NULL, "" and even "\0" for username and password but always get an ORA-01017. I can conney with "sqlplus /" so there is no fundamental problem usin externally identified users.
The length parameters for OCILogon are set through strlen() since I adapted the cdemo6.cc which uses a C++ wrapper arount the OCI calls.

I can connect using some dieferent user which is not identified externally by issuing the password. So I'm sure that I call OCILogon correctly.

Maybe there is some "magic username and password" that I have to use for externally identified users?
