We have a jsmith account that is OS authenticated in our TEST database. This account also exists in server X which is outside our domain and protected by a firewall. We've set up our firewall to allow Oracle connections to our TEST database to get through. This setup works fine. One day jsmith logs into server X, tries to connect to the TEST database using ODBC and the database let him in without asking for a password! We also did this on a local machine and it came through as well.

Obviously, the database wasn't validating the DOMAIN NAME when it evaluated the user and since the username had an OPS$ account it let it through. Is there some setting that I needed to configure to force Oracle to validate both the Domain and User names?

Thanks,
George
