If you are validating oracle users externally (O/S level), then NT would authenticate oracle users. If you are autheticating users at the database level,
then users can still connect to oracle without connecting first to NT server.

The client application (e.g. SQL*Plus) uses SQL*NET to connect to the server.
For example, Create user user_1 identified by pass; Assuming user_1 has create session privilege, user_1 can log on to the database even if user_1 press the escape key to bypass the Window log on screen.

hope that helps
