Re: Oracle connect internal/OS authentification

[Alan Burlison]

Hmm, this seems to work for me as well (on Solaris).  The trick seems to be 
to set the ora_session_mode to ORA_SYSDBA, provide a username of 'SYS' and a 
*non-null* password - anything will do, even a single space.  I've checked 
this from my primary oracle login account, and by adding/removing a normal 
user from/to the dba group:

# User not in dba group
t$ /tmp/dba
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin)
# User added to dba group
$ /tmp/dba
BASALT
SYS
