Configuring Multiple Authentication Methods
Configuring Multiple Authentication Methods
Many networks use more than one authentication method on a single security
server. Accordingly, Oracle Advanced Security lets you configure your network so
that Oracle clients can use a specific authentication method, and Oracle database

sqlnet.ora
