Yes, I have this article bookmarked. However, how does one set up JBoss to access the Oracle server in this manner?<br />
<br />
The norm is with a data source xml file, which passes the username and password. How is this accomplished with the OS authentication method?

I have a client that I am setting ATG 2007.1 in JBoss 4.0.5. They have a security requirement that says we have to use OS authentication for connecting to the Oracle databases.<br />
<br />
I know how to set up database-level users with JDBC connections, but do not know what measures I need to take to use OS level authentication. What changes in JBoss are required?<br />
<br />
Just more information, both the JBoss app servers and the Oracle DB servers are running on Solaris 10 Sun SPARC servers.
