security permission logging onto Oracle database - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

ctcuser · #1 03-23-2004

Hello,
I'm trying to login to an Oracle databse without entering the user/passwd. The server resides on an AIX 5.1 system, and using LDAP. I'm entering the following command
>sqlplus / @ORACLE_SID

This should work but for some odd reason I get a login denied.
But if I enter the user id and password it works fine. DBA's suggest that the problem resides on the UNIX level. I would assume that I'm not carrying over my authentication when using the "/" command.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Figured it out.
After a battle with dba's, the problem reside with them.
They did not setup the id to accept external login.

thanks for those who tried.
