If you have multiple databases and you are using external user authentication, the connect string would need to identify the SID or TNSNames entry that they must connect to. We wrote a front-end application that the user invoked via a menu or API. They passed in the English name of the app and we passed the entry back to them.

Does anyone here have experience working with database that supports external authentication application users? My question is how would application know which database to connect to if there are multiple databases on the server? Does it have to be hard-coded in application? Thank you.
