Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: authentication externally on WinNT
Are you suggesting using "ops$" accounts over sql*net?. Is your database inaccessible usesr with administrator/root privileges on any of their machines? OPS$ authentication is notoriously easy to spoof.

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
