Re: Oracle Security question

On the DOS/Windows side, you can set a environment variable after the user is signed on like USERID=choang. In the PB app you can get this parameter and log in the Oracle DB. Do not change the autoexec.bat to have this parameter hardcoded for security reason. Use your Novell script to set the parameter.
