Hi,

Is Host Authentication feature supported in Release 8.1.6.0.0 ?
If yes, then my doubt goes like this :

Host Authentication says that, we can create a user in Oracle whose password is
validated by the underlying host system.When the user logs onto the host with a
correct password, Oracle then trusts the host's authentication and gives the
user access to Oracle without providing another password.

My systems host name is 'galaxy'.
so I created a user OPS$galaxy using the following sql statement
SQL>create user OPS$galaxy identified externally;

sqlplus executable in my system is in the following path :     c:orawin95bin
 
Now when I'm trying to connect to Oracle from a host system command prompt,
I encountered the following error :

C:WINDOWSDesktop>c:orawin95binsqlplus /

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Mon Nov 15 12:09:30 2004

ERROR:
ORA-01004: default username feature not supported; logon denied

Enter user-name:

 

              Thanks in advance.....

I'm not familiar with Oracle on windows, but the username would probably need to be galaxy - not the host name. It's worth a try...
