Hi Oracle guru's,
I have a customer who wants his users to use a application (on Windows) without supplying a password when logging on to the database (on Linux). We have been able to set this up by using Oracle's os authentication : setting os_authent_prefix=ops$ and remote_os_authent=true => this enables users to logon to the database by starting up the application on their pc's and just supplying a "/" for the username and leave the password field blank. So far so good.
Question : customer wants parameter "remote_os_authent" set to false and still be able to logon without password. How can this be realized ? What do we need ?
Do we need a directory like OID ?
Do we need to turn to Enterprise Users ?
If so, can users still logon without supplying a password ? or is the use of a password mandatory when using OID/Enterprise Users ?
I guess, I am talking about a kind of SSO ?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Benny Derous.
