RE: Help with OS authentication on NT?

Are you creating the user name as domain\user? Starting with 8.1.5 this is now the default. There is a registry parameter OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN that controls this.

Hi,

Environment: WindowsNT Server version 4.0 SP6.A

             Oracle 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition

I'm trying to get my users setup with externally authenticated oracle accounts.

I have set the following params:

     REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = true
     os_authent_prefix = ""

I have also created a user to be authenticated externally. The user belongs to the domain the server is located in.  

When I test the login I'm recieving "invalid username/password" messages. The username is correct and the password is correct.

Can someone tell me what is missing, besides a few of my brain cells?

TIA, Steve
