Dear list,

i have a OCI program with the following function to login to the database

rc =
OCILOGON(envhp,errhp,&svchp,(text*)pcSID,(ub4)(strlen(pcSID)),(text*)pcPWD,(ub4)(strlen(pcPWD)),0,0);

the username and password i get from the getEnvVar("USERNAME",pcDefaultSID);
getEnvVar("PASWD",pcDefaultPWD);

in oracle 7.3.4 we have a user scott identified externally and USERNAME=/ is set in the environment. this use to work fine.

we migrated to ORACLE8 recently and this OCILOGON fails with 01017 error.
is there any other way of calling this function to use the username which is identified externally? as lot of scripts are dependent on this environment variable?

thanks
