Check Use Operating system authentication to allow Oracle to pass control of user authentication to the operating system. The technology works as follows:
| • | First, create an OS user (if it doesn't exist). |
| • | Check a value of the Oracle OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX initialization parameter. Current value of this parameter can be retrieved using the followng query: |
SELECT VALUE FROM V$PARAMETER
WHERE NAME = 'os_authent_prefix'
The default value is OPS$. The initialization parameter can be modified with the ALTER SYSTEM command.
| • | Create a database user. The user must use the external identification and its name must be the prefix value concatenated to the OS username (on Windows platforms you would expect an Oracle username of "OPS$DOMAIN\MY_USER" for the user "my_user"). |
