Oracle, JDBC, and Windows Authentication

["Arnett, Matt" <Matt.Arnett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know of a JDBC driver for Oracle (preferable free, open source) that supports Windows Authentication?  If so, does it require any configuration or setup on the Oracle database?  The driver that comes with Oracle does support Integrated Windows Authentication but also requires configuration changes in the Oracle database to have it sync up with Active Directory.  This may not be avoidable but I would like to try and avoid this if possible.

 

I found an open source JDBC driver for MS-SQL Server which supports Integrated Windows Authentication and Single-Sign-On.  Microsoft is planning to release support for this in June this year but I can’t wait that long for them.  Another example where Open Source beats the Big Guy in time to market and feature set.

 

Thanks,
Matt
