Ok, I have found the solution.
In my program I was using OCILogon(...) to connect to ORACLE, what was wrong for external
authentication. Now I am using OCISessionBegin(..., OCI_CRED_EXT, ...). Another problem was that my program is working as Windows service and I did not know that
if the service is set "login->local system account" then it works as an internal Windows user process and
not as and administrator user process.
