run:

select username from dba_users 
where password = 'EXTERNAL'

Is there a user that matches the currently logged on
Win2k account? 

Is it a domain account?  It needs to be a local account,
as I don't think you can use a domain account without
also using 'remote_os_authent=true'.

At least, it doesn't work for me that way.  I've only used
external auth with local accounts.

        Subject:        OS Authentication on Win2K


I am having problems getting OS authentication to work on a Win2K oracle
server (8.1.7.1.1).

All parameters are set properly (from what I can see). There cannot be a
prefix so the following parameter is set as follows: os_authent_prefix = 
""

I need to be able to log into the server as a user identified externally 
and
just type sqlplus / for access. It is also necessary for the users 
identified
externally to be  able to use a password as well.  Any suggestions? Anyone
else run into problems with this?
