Does anyone have a link to or an opinion on a good strategy to deploy
involving database/application security?

Specifically, we are currently debating keeping our current security scheme
where:

1) each user has his/her own Oracle account, and the servlet parks the
username password for use on trips subsequent to the login (Oracle
authentication)
or going to:
2) creating a single Oracle user for the servlet container to use while
using the web server/application server to authenticate the user (web server
authentication).

We have a manageable (closed) set of users, so the management of the user
base is not an issue.

In your view, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each of these
schemes, and are there others? How does the connection pool strategy fit
into 1 and 2 above?
Thanks for your time,
Dave Godbey
