Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Becoming another user
I am developing a Microsoft Internet Information Server application. Uses NT authentication so login not required if using Internet Explorer. I am trying to avoid requiring a login screen to get password to connect to the Oracle 8 data base. Currently, the application
logs into the data base with a set-aside id and password with the thought of switching to the actual user's id, avoiding the need for a password (like using su as root in Unix). I see in the documentation that I can give the set-aside id the BECOME USER privilege.
Question: What is the command to become another user? Or is the privilege only to be used by the import facility? Received on Thu May 21 1998 - 10:11:41 CDT
