Hi everyone!
We're running an Oracle 12c database for education purposes. An amount of 400 periodically changing students are given access to the DB. At the moment we create an independant account for each of our students with an individual and independant user/Password combination.We are trying to decrease the number of accounts for the students and want to achieve the database authentification against our active directory where each student is created.
The OS authentification for externally identified database users works (connect is slow but it works :-)) The problem is that most of the students connect from their own devices which are of course not joined to our domain.
My question is if there is a possiblity to authenticate external db users just by providing the domain user credentials (username and password)?
I want to avoid the installation of an OID or scripting etc. if possible.
Thanks a lot for your hopefully helpful answers :-)
