We are going the OID way because of these problems. Anyway here is a wild idea: Tell the web guys to use the user userid (he probably logged to the web application) with a standard password that is common to all of them and is supplied by the web application, the user does not see it. If you

Hi Jared, The users don't have to authenticate in the application because they've been setup in active directory. It may be similar to SAP, except we don't have the SAP developers in-house making production changes without telling anyone. That's why I wan't to lock it down. In the past the

I like the idea of roles and that's what I'm trying to get at, but the app determines the user's authority prior to connecting to the database by looking at a key in active directory. The database connections have to connect as the highest level user possible, which is the application admin. I

Technically it's a means for doing row-level security in Oracle Apps (in functional side there's of course more). It's just a bunch of views on base tables. All base tables have org_id column in them and the views include a clause where they compare rows org_id to organization id taken from

Steve, I'm not a web developer either, but I do know that this is a very common method of handling the database connections. Many 2 tier apps work this way as well. SAP for example. Unless you have influence on the architecture and can present a convincing argument, you best learn how to work

Well ... in general it's the apps that manage the system security, and the DB users are there to prevent the app users from doing damage, but in general these two work in unison. I have not seen any decent ways of having the DB administer users without there being a serious overhead, in terms of
