Re: Oracle User identified EXTERNALLY
Check for os_authent_prefix (I think) in init.ora. Should be set to OPS$. Some people set it to a null string so that they can avoid using the OPS$ prefix. But the advantage to using a prefix is that you can connect locally without a password and remotely with a password. -- Philip - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 12:53 PM Hi All, Here is the situation .
