Bug description: Privileged connection with an Oracle password file fails
Description:
------------
When oci_connect() uses OCI_SYSDBA or OCI_SYSOPER, oci8.c always calls
OCISessionBegin() with OCI_CRED_EXT. This needs to be changed to
OCI_CRED_RDBMS in some cases so privileged connections can be
authenticated by an Oracle password file.
When OCI_SYSDBA or OCI_SYSOPER are specified:
if the username is "/" and there is no password then
the credential should be OCI_CRED_EXT
else
the credential should be OCI_CRED_RDBMS
There are two success cases of interest:
Case 1: oci8.c should use OCI_CRED_EXT.
Connect succeds if the process running PHP is in Oracle's OS dba
group and the DB is "local" i.e on the same host and specified by
ORACLE_SID environment variable. Otherwise connection will fail.
oci_connect("/", "", NULL, OCI_SYSDBA);
Case 2: oci8.c should use OCI_CRED_RDBMS.
Connect succeeds if the user is in Oracle's password file. The DB
can be on a remote host.
// Note DB name could be NULL.
oci_connect("un", "pw", "MYSID", OCI_SYSDBA);
Note: the php.ini parameter oci8.privileged_connect must be true for
PHP to allow OCI_SYSDBA or OCI_SYSOPER connections.
Actual result:
--------------
Currently case 2 gives ORA-01031: insufficient privileges in test.php on
line 3.
