Operating System authenticated Oracle account

Hi all,
Can i use the oracle built-in account "APPS" as the Operating System authenticated Oracle account? If I have an UNIX account "apps", then can i just alter user apps and set it to externally? Or I will need to create a new OPS$apps database account? Will there any conflict between the account apps and OPS$apps?
Thank you!

Can i use the oracle built-in account "APPS" as the Operating System authenticated Oracle account?
Yes
If I have an UNIX account "apps", then can i just alter user apps and set it to externally?
Yes.
I will need to create a new OPS$apps database account?
Yes, if your initialization parameter 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' is set to 'OPS$'. Note that this parameter could be set to null. Also note that the text of the 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' parameter is case sensitive on some operating systems.
Will there any conflict between the account apps and OPS$apps?
If the initialization parameter 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' is set to 'OPS$', there are now two different Oracle users.
They are 'APPS' and 'OPS$APPS'. The following link will provide you a lot of information on authentication.

If I were you, I would try it on a development/test
system before implementing it in production.

Operating System authentication

Hi,
I have a question about Operating System authentication:
How can I find out the OSDBA and OSOPER groups after I installed Oracle?
Is there any data dictionary view to find out this groups.
I run Oracle 9.2 on Sun Solaris and want to change from password file authentication to operating system authentication.
Thanks for your help
Bernahdr

If they exist they will be in the file /etc/groups. If not, they need to be created by your sys admin.

Operating System Authentication (OBIEE 10g)

I am trying to find out how to enable operating system authentication, but cannot figure which AUTHENTICATION_TYPE to enable in NQSConfig.INI:
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = NQS; // optional and default
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = DATABASE;
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS;
When operating system authentication is enabled, user connecting to BI server should not type a user ID or password at the logon prompt. If a user enters a user ID and (optionally) a password at the logon prompt, that user ID and password overrides the operating system authentication and Oracle BI Server performs the authentication.
Appreciate any help on this!

What you want is possible but not trivial. You are obviously completely lost as the settings you refer to have nothing to do with that. Start by reading this thread:

Connection from jdbc or sqlj using operating system authentication

Is it possible to use the operating system authentication to connect to oracle which is on the same box from jdbc or sqlj??
Any help is appreciated

You can logon using external credentials with the oci driver by passing in null's as username and password.

Jdbc operating system authentication

Is it only possible to use operating system authentication for jdbc connections (thin/oci) with an oracle11g database ?
Is it possible to use operating system authentication for jdbc connections with earlier versions of oracle ?
Thanks, Seb

Seb,
As far as I am aware, you cannot use operating system authentication for JDBC connections in all versions up to and including 10g.
I have not used Oracle 11g, so I don't know about that version.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Operating System Authentication in Windows

Hi gururs,
How to turn on Operating System Authentication in NQSConfig.ini file?
I could not find it in the documentation.
Thanks
Laszlo

Hi John,
Thanks the link.
However, I want to use OS authentication (I mean Windows) and I guess I can do it without SSO authentication.
Simply, what about if I don't have SSO environment?

Most widely used operating system for oracle database

hi,
can anyone figure out which operating system is widely used for oracle database around the world.
thanks and regards,
Ashok

I don't think you can safely pick one single operating system for Oracle.
Over the years I have seen various Unix flavors, VAX/VMS, Windows and others being used to a great extent for running Oracle database.
Picking one flavor will be tougher then having to program the database under any operating system it is made available.

Certified operating system for Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1)

Hello,
I have a question regarding the certified operating system for Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/idm_certification_101401.html
- for an Intel EM64T 64 bit machine
for the application server database it is stated that we need
Windows 2003 R1 (64 bit OS)
and the application server platform is certified with
Windows 2003 R1 with SP1 or higher (64 bit OS)
an installation of application server platform + database on a single Intel EM64T with Windows 2003 R1 with SP1 is not certified ? or with other words, if I add Sp1 to 2003 than the application server database is not on a certified platform ?
thanks

Hi Florin
My guess is that you are looking at the Oracle Identity Federation certification section in the link for the IDM certification.
The IDM certification for windows is in par. 2.3
For a 64 bits machine it specifies that you need Windows 2003 R2 to run it. And it is only certified for an Oracle database version 9.0.3.1. The footnote says:
Oracle Database includes Oracle 9i 9.2.0.8, Oracle 10g 10.1.0.5, Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1, and Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2
so I would go for the latest Oracle database version 10g 10.2.0.2. However the link with the Oracle database versions only notes an Oracle database version 10.2.0.1 available for Windows 64 bit. A quick lookup under the certifify tab in metalink shows that Oracle 10g R2 is certified for Windows 2003 10g R2 and that there is a 10.2.0.2 patch set that can be applied upon the Oracle database 10.2.0.1 base release. Don't forget to apply the latest CPU after this is done.
I have this from the documentation links you added in your question. I have not installed IDM 10.1.4 on Windows 64 bit myself.
Cheers

Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client Operating System Authentication

Hi.
I am trying to get OSA to work with Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client, is this not supported?
I get the following Error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Here are some of the variations of connection string, I have been testing with.
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Trusted Connection=True;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Trusted Connection=True;
Integrated Security and Trusted Connection gives me, unknown or illegal connection string attribute errors.
My first assumption would be that my Operating System Account doesn't have access to the Oracle Database I am trying to log on to.
But I am fully capable of connecting to the database with OSA with sqlplus, sqldeveloper and toad.
Can somebody explain to me why this isn't working? And what I may do to fix it?
It may be worth mentioning that I am trying to use the 12c x86 ODP.NET Managed Provider, against 11g/11.2 Oracle Databases.

That's correct. Kerberos is not currently supported by managed ODP.NET. We are working to support this feature, but don't have an ETA on when it will be available.
What company or organization is requesting this feature?
I believe there's an open feature request for Kerberos support in the Oracle .NET Feature Request Tool. Fee free to add your vote to this request.

JAAS - operating system authentification

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a web application with Oracle database. The security of the application is managed thru database accounts. So if I have an account on database I can login in my web application. I use for to this the DBSystemLoginModule.
Now some users have a account managed by the system authentification. My question is.. it's possible to login to the database with a OS account ? How ?
Thx

I have some questions about operating system
authentification.The word is authentication :-)
Now some users have a account managed by the system
authentification. My question is.. it's possible to
login to the database with a OS account ? How ?What's special about these users?
There is a short overview here in the Concepts guide. Then you may want to read about External Authentication, one of the methods of user (identity) authentication mentioned for example in the Security Guide.
The term 'operating system authentication' is somewhat confused; sometimes this refers to the special case of using os groups to assign the "extreme" sysdba/sysoper rights.

Operating System specific variables

I would like to determine the operating system on which the application server is installed.
We have a Linux and a Windows operating system running Oracle application server 6i and Oracle application server 9i.
The forms look in the database for the path from where to run reports. Initially we had only the windows machine so we have path specific to windows, we have added a new linux operating system with Oracle 9i application server, so we are having problems with path.
Is there a way by which I can determine the operating system and accordingly change the path.
Thanks in advance.
-P

You have presumable noticed that the System.getenv() method is deprecated.
You might look at bug ID 4199068
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4199068.html
which calls for it to be reinstated.
In the user comments there is some JNI code to implement your own getenv function, and other workarounds. Unfortunately this RFE is now closed, so we can't vote for it.
