    NT user nodba

    Platform : Oracle on NT with Windows NT clients.

    os_authent_prefix string
    remote_os_authent boolean TRUE

    entry for sqlnet.ora (client)
    ==============================

    On commenting

    sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

    in sqlnet.ora i am able to connect to as through OS authentication.
    There should be an OS user and the database user in the database for OS authentication

    However sqlnet.authentication_services parameter was required in the previous release of Oracle.
    Why do we need to comment it in sqlnet.ora?Any ideas?

    When you set

    sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

    IT allows for user authentication via the native operating system.
