Hi,
we have oracle databases 12c on windows 2012 configured with Kerberos authentication. oracle client 12c and sqldeveloper 4.1.5 are working perfect. The application designed in oracle forms. we planning move to 12c and I need Kerberos authentication in connection.
I found java code connect to oracle database using jdbc thin driver connection. It is working perfect. How I can use this connection into oracle forms.
Please help
Thanks Marinab

Do you have configuration similar to below?

EndUser<=>browser<=>webserver<=>ApplicationServer<=>DatabaseServer

If so, "forms" never talks directly to Oracle DB

I do NOT understand what problem you are trying to solve.
JDBC is used by some clients to connect (CREATE SESSION) to Oracle database.
In the 3-tier architecture it is the application server which logs into the Oracle database.
IMO, the use of Kerberos only adds complication between application server & database server.
If you insist it must be included, please explain what benefit is gained by doing so.

EXACTLY how, what, or where do you want, desire or expect Kerberos authentication to be used in 3-tier architecture below?

EndUser<=>browser<=>webserver<=>ApplicationServer<=>DatabaseServer

Hi,
could be on webserver or on database server. Like I mention before, all components (client, webserver, database) on windows.
maybe some plugin I can use.

Hi Guys,
I still open to any suggestion.
On Forms server I configured Kerberos client sqlnet.ora(put trace);
When I try login in form; Kerberos using "server user" authentication and connection to database;
I guess I need some Javascript called on-login trigger take username from login screen
and created KDC ticket on forms server and login to database using this account.
Please help
