Anyone out there know how to use OS level authentication when connecting to Oracle 7.3.4 using Oracle's OCI JDBC driver?

I was hoping you could just send a "/" (to represent the user's name and password) to DriverManager.getConnection with the SID - where the user is identified externally from the database. (Like you can do in SQLplus, etc).

Tried it but no luck.

Suggestions are most welcome.
