note 84607 added to function.oci-connect

From PHP 5.3 onwards: A new OCI_CRED_EXT flag can be passed as the "session_mode" parameter to oci_connect(), oci_new_connect() and oci_pconnect(). $c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT); This tells Oracle to do external or OS authentication, if configured in the database. OCI_CRED_EXT can only be used with username of "/" and a empty password. Oci8.privileged_connection may be On or Off. OCI_CRED_EXT is not supported on Windows for security reasons. The new flag may be combined with the existing OCI_SYSOPER or OCI_SYSDBA modes (note: oci8.privileged_connection needs to be On for OCI_SYSDBA and OCI_SYSOPER), e.g.: $c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT+OCI_SYSOPER); ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 148.87.1.167 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84607 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84607 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84607 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
