RE: OPS$

We use REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT in many of our databases. I know we shouldn't do this, but we have to, and that's another topic...

We also use a specific auth prefix.

Now, can someone show me how a Windoze user, 'GOD' get in the database when I do not have a user, '<Auth_Prefix>GOD' in my database.

I say, I have nothing to worry about this setup as long as 'GOD' user in my database is controlled appropriately via roles, grants, profile etc....

Sure, if I had <auth_prefix>GOD in the database, I will be looking for another job....
Right?

Ron,

   Do not forget the postulate 'if you set remote_os_authent to TRUE'. This is not the default (although it has not always been, but it dates back to SQL*Net V1)
