Identified globally is if you are using LDAP. Identified externally is for external authentication without LDAP. Kerberos authentication also requires the advanced security option or whatever they are calling it.

If you have been successful, Mladen, whose KDC and krb5 software are you using; what is the version of that software.

That is not a problem! Use advanced security and accounts "identified globally". As long as you're able to authenticate the process with RADIUS, Kerberos or something like that, you can work with oracle.
