How do you handle logins for applications that log into the database
using a common login?  I've seen it handled through hard-coded
username/pass in the app, password file in 'secure' directories and
ops$ account with remote_os_authent set to true on a server being
accessed from a 3rd tier web app.  Mgmt didn't seemed too thrilled when
I showed them in about 2 minutes how to break into the db when
remote_os_authent=true.

Just curious how you handle this.  I haven't seen any particularly
great way and am looking for a better solution.   V7.3.4 -> 8.1.7
databases.

Thanks - Brian
