Re: os_authent_prefix

Amir,

Being a mere mortal I would like to refer to a very interesting point that I fully agree with. It's expressed by a person well respected in Oracle and beyond. I am sure you know/heard of him - http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/05/why.html

From your post it was quite clear that what you do doesn't make much sence (or read it as not clear at all what is the purpose) and, consequently, mix of incompatible methods of athentication. The question about initial requirements and ideas is very appropriate in this context and I hinted that very clearly. Perhaps, you have read this already but it might be useful to get back to it and others might find it very interesting as well -

To summarize, with no replies on your question for two hours I wanted to be helpful enough to hint you possible directions instead of simple RTFM that some people consider to be a bit rude (well, I don't!). In case of any concerns, please contact me privately and I am very open to discuss it.

Regards,
Alex
