Does JDBC support OS_Authentication (UNIX) to access database?

309629Aug 20 2002

Hi,

I have an Oracle 9i database account with OS_authenticated password. The database server is running on Unix. I have a Unix account. The database access was set to be OS authenticated. As long as I am able to login the Unix system, I don't need to submit a password to the database when accessing the database.

How does JDBC support this feature? I am using the thin driver DriverManager.getConnection and getConnection needs a database login and password.

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
