The web server will need to require authentication, and will need to
be configured to participate in the Kerberos realm. This isn't really
a CF issue. You may need to change your CF application to pull
personalization data from Oracle based on the value of CGI.AUTH_USER
which is generally populated when you use web server authentication. I
have no idea whether CGI.AUTH_USER will definitely be populated in
this case, though.
