I have it working and am pretty happy with it.  It doesn't allow a user
to connect to the database without entering anything, they still have to
enter a / for username, but they don't have to enter a password.

One tip - for security reasons you should preface the usernames with
your domain name and not OPS$ or some such nonsense.

You will occaissionally run into older products that don't support OS
authentication - eg. Oracle Reports 6.0.

Beyond user ease, the other reason I like it is that I can script DBA
tasks in .bat files without hardcoding username/password 

HTH,

 I have some users who use both Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.  They
like
the fact they don't have to type in a userid and password when they
logon to
SQL server, they are authenticated with their Windows logon.

 They'd like the same thing when they logon to Oracle.

 I seem to recall that Oracle can use the userid and password from the
operating system but has anyone got this working under NT?

 Thanks John
