Greetings ALL......

I have been assigned a security research project by my boss. Really simple topic, o/s authentication vs. password file authentication. Currently we use a password file, and the boss wants to know what it would take to convert to o/s authentication instead. However, I'm not familiar with o/s authentication. Can anyone assist?

Currently we are using Oracle 81730 - Standard edition - on a windows platform. Suggestions are welcome.

thanks,
C-
