RE: authentication externally on WinNT

You need an oracle username with authent_prefix added to the NT username, which means that if NT username is "scott", oracle username should be "ops$scott", in case that you will be using the default authentication prefix
of "ops$". You can always choose something else, like 'mg$', (my initials, combined with my favorite currency)

Hi!

Oracle8.1.7 on WinNT.
I created database user with external authentication with whom I'm logged on that WinNT server.
When I start exp there is error

         invalid username/password logon denied. What am I missing? It works just fine on UNIX!

TIA,
Sonja
