RE: Re[2]: Preventing logins from applications

Perhaps a tack that explains to management the threat (real or imagined) of un-authorized program access. Couch it in a dollars-lost-from-fixing-problems sense. This usually gets their attention.

Charlie,

    That's all well and good, my try at it was on V7, but in my case the users

This can be accomplished by creating a login trigger that checks the "PROGRAM" name within V$SESSION. You can create a table that contains whitelisted program names & simply terminate any session that uses a program that does not exist within your authorized list of programs.
