Re: External authentication

Here are the steps to perform :

1 - Connect as system/manager in SQL*Plus and enter : CREATE USER "PC100\USER" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY Then
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO "PC100\USER" 2 - Create a user in Windows named USER.

3 - Log on Windows as USER and go to the C:\> command line. Type 'sqlplus' (without the single quotes). You should be connected to your database without having to enter any username/password.

Hope that helps.
