Understanding Windows Native Authentication

edited Apr 23, 2015 1:20PM in Identity Management (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓
Hello all

We are running Windows on both client and server (XP, Win2008R2 in the same domain, 11.2.0.2 in both ends), and have enabled Windows Native Authentication (sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)) for simplified logon (identified externally). We have set OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN to FALSE. This works just fine.

I hope to understand a little better what this actually means, and I can not really find all that much in the documentation.

- What auth protocol is used, kerberos/ntlm ?

- Will a local user on a XP-machine on the network be able to authenticate in any way?

- Related to that, who can really authenticate (using /), users in the same domain and/or trusted domains, anyone else?

Howdy, Stranger!
