Sure. Create the database userid so that it is authenticated externally
(Identfied externally).
Then the userid can log in via SQL*Plus using a "/" instead of a userid or
password. The OS userid should be a controlled account so that everyone and
his grandmother cannot log into it.
If it is a matter of encryption, turn on encryption by adding the
encryption login parameter to the sqlnet.ora file.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Is there a way to log into sqlplus without the username and password available to anyone who wants to grab it?
