Hi Everyone! I have a question regarding External Authentication in oci8 1.3.4. I was curious as to why this was not implemented in Windows? I currently run a PHP application with Windows Server 2k3, and IIS 6. In addition the Oracle DB is on a Windows Server 2k3 box as well. I would greatly benefit from external authentication to a Microsoft AD. I have no possibility of moving to a non-Windows platform. I was just curious as to why, and if there is any plan to implement this feature in Windows. Thanks!
There are potential security issues with user impersonation on Windows that have yet to be investigated. If we're lucky, there is no issue - but that is yet to be determined. There is no schedule for this feature on Windows, but I am aware of it being useful. Like many projects we have more ideas and potential features than we have time to complete. Thank you for raising your hand to say this feature would help you, because that helps us prioritize our goals.
