Configuring Multiple Authentication
Methods and Disabling Oracle Advanced
This chapter describes how to configure multiple authentication methods under
Oracle Advanced Security, and how to use conventional user name and password
authentication, even if you have configured another authentication method. This
also chapter describes how to configure your network so that Oracle clients can use
a specific authentication method, and Oracle servers can accept any method
specified.
This chapter contains the following topics:

Connecting with User Name and Password

To connect to an Oracle database server using a user name and password when an
Oracle Advanced Security authentication method has been configured, disable the
external authentication (See:
on page 9-2).
With the external authentication disabled, a user can connect to a database using the
following format:
% sqlplus username/password@net_service_name
