OS Authentication

uhillig · Post by **uhillig** » Fri 16 Nov 2007 10:06

Hello,

I'm using OraDirect for connecting to an Oracle 10g database server. For authentication we use OS authentication. When we use the 10g instant client everything works fine. Our problem is, that the customer need to use an Oracle 8 client for connecting to the 10g database.

When we try to do a connection over OraDirect through the Oracle 8 client, OS Authentication will not work!

What we have to do to get this work with the Oracle 8 Client?

Best Regards

Ulf

Please specify your connection string.
Just for your information, for OS authentication mode you should not set username or password in your connection string. It ought to look like this:

Code: Select all

oracleConnection1.ConnectionString = "Data Source=oracle;";

I dont't set these information. If i connect through a 10g client, everything is fine. But 8 won't work.

But 8 won't work.

What is the full version?

Oracle client 8.1 supports OS Authentication. Possibly the problem is in Oracle client settings.
