Hello Hello_World,

Here's something that was posted in this newsgroup a while back regarding the "sqlnet_authentication_services" parameter. I understand what NTS is ["Uses Windows NT native authentication"], but I still haven't found out what in the world a "Bequeath protocol" is supposed to be. Any ideas?

---

Purpose:
 Enables one or more authentication services. If authentication has been installed, it is recommended that this parameter be set to either NONE or to one of the authentication methods.

Default:
 None

Values:
 Authentication Available with Net8:

NONE - No authentication methods are used. A valid user name and password can be used to access the database.

ALL - Enables all authentication methods to be used

BEQ - Uses the Bequeath protocol

NDS - Uses NDS authentication

NTS - Uses Windows NT native authentication

Authentication Available with Oracle Advanced Security:

KERBEROS5 - Uses Kerberos authentication

SECURID - Uses SecurID authentication

CYBERSAFE - Uses Cybersafe authentication

IDENTIX - Uses Identix authentication

RADIUS - Uses RADIUS authentication

DCEGSSAPI - Uses DCE GSSAPI authentication

See Also: Oracle Advanced Security Administrator's Guide

Example:
 sqlnet.authentication_services=(beq, kerberos5, cybersafe)

hth,
Simon
