Re: authenticate DB users against Windows Server

Scenario: Oracle DB Server 10.1 and Oracle AS 9.0.4 running on two different SUSE Linux SLES8 boxes.

We are going to deploy an Oracle Forms app with this platform. Since our customer bought the Forms & Reports version only, there's no Single-Sign-On so we use DB accounts to authenticate users.

Our customer asked us if it's possible to synchronize passwords with their Windows Server.

IIUC, this would require the creation of IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY users, but since they bought the Standard Edition they miss the "Enterprise User Security" feature so this solution is not possible with their configuration.

Is this correct?

Thank you. Kind regards,

nope... just identified externally:

on my lowly XP laptop with 10G Express:

SQL> create user "ENQUERY001\MCS" identified externally;

User created.

SQL> grant connect to "ENQUERY001\MCS";

Grant succeeded.

SQL> connect /
Connected.

SQL> show user
USER is "ENQUERY001\MCS"
