sqlnet.ora settings different on clients and server

edited Jun 21, 2016 9:07AM in Database Networking (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

What is the impact of having sqlnet.ora with different settings ?

On the client the sqlnet.authentication_services=NONE but on the server the setting is NTS.

Does this mean that on the server, I can only connect via Windows credentials (e.g. sqlplus / as sysdba) whilst a member of ora_dba local group. If so, why can I still connect as an Oracle user as well ?

On the client, I should only therefore be able to connect to the Oracle server using Oracle credentials and this does work.

It all seems very confusing.
