Invalid username/password in case of oracle os authentication

Question

Hi,
I am trying to connect to database using oracle local os authentication. REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = false
I am using oracle 11g.
here is the code
I am trying in two ways :-
1. OracleDataSource
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
String url = "jdbc:oracle:oci:@";
ods.setURL(url);
ods.setDatabaseName("oradg");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
In this case it always connects to the default ORACLE_SID which is set in the environment.
2. Simple JDBC connection
String url = "jdbc:oracle:oci:@oradg";
Connection con = Drivermanager.getconnection(url,props);
in this case it always says "invalid username/password"
Please help me to resolve the problem.
Thanks

2 using the oracle account for this is a VERY BAD IDEA
i have another os user called demo which has the same issue.
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT any way i dont want to use.
3 always connecting to the database server is a VERY BAD IDEA
i am not very clear on this can u please elaborate it?
I dont want to use any username and password for os authentication in the code.
The problem is if ORACLE_SID is set in the environment then code works fine. But I want to set the sid in the code itself.
Because if i set in the environment then at a time only one sid will be used.
But why you want to hard code the SID in the first place anywhere? Why not to use the Services ?
