In the manual, it says that for the initialization parameter file parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE

"shared" is the default value.

But further on it says,

"none" specifies that Oracle9i database ignores the password file and that authentication of privileged users is handled by the Windows operating system. This is the default setting.

So which is the default? Received on Tue Apr 29 2003 - 00:28:40 CDT
