STOP & THINK, please.

OS Authentication means that Oracle is agreeing to believe the OS that the user is who is signed onto that OS.

How/why should Oracle believe a remote connection request is coming a "trusted source" with demanding its own username/password?

From my perspective any sentence that contains JDBC & "OS authentication" is an oxymoron. Received on Fri Apr 07 2006 - 20:48:17 CDT
