but set OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = "" and OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN = TRUE HTH, Beth -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 11:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L logon Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks John -----Original Message----- Sent: August 15, 2002 5:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L logon to 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, Beth -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 4:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L to 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?
