Hi All, 

The client machine is an NT machine and it belongs to a domain "GALAXY" 
Oracle Db server is on Solaris. 

client sqlnet.ora has the following setting: 


NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES) 
LOG_DIRECTORY_CLIENT=c:\oracle\ora81\network\log 
USE_DEDICATED_SERVER=ON 
SQLNET_AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NTS 

initialization parameters: 

REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT=TRUE 
os_authent_prefix = "" 

--------- 

with an user name Without the domain remote connection is possible.. 

****************** 
SQL> create user USER1 identified externally 
2 default tablespace ts1 
3 temporary tablespace TEMP; 
User created. 

SQL> grant connect to USER1; 
Grant succeeded. 

C:\>sqlplus /@sn1 
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Tue Dec 30 15:51:45 2003 
(c) Copyright 2000 Oracle GALAXYoration. All rights reserved. 
Connected to: 
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production 
With the Partitioning option 
JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production 

SQL> show user 
USER is "USER1" 

SQL> select username, osuser from v$session; 
USERNAME OSUSER 
------------------------------ ------------------------------ 

SYS oracle 
USER1 USER1 
*********************** 

But when i try the username with the NT domain it fails to connect remotely: 

************************* 
SQL> create user "GALAXY\USER1" identified externally 
2 default tablespace ts1 
3 temporary tablespace TEMP; 
User created. 

SQL> grant connect to "GALAXY\USER1"; 
Grant succeeded. 

When I connect try using sqlplus /@sn1 it fails 
C:\>sqlplus /@sn1 
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Tue Dec 30 15:49:56 2003 
(c) Copyright 2000 Oracle GALAXYoration. All rights reserved. 
ERROR: 
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied 
**************************** 

What I think issue here is, the connection is thru tns-listener and the NT domain and the server machine are different. 

Is there any solution for this / Is it possible to connect the remote unix DB server with OS authentication from an NT client with domain name ? 


Thanks and Regareds
