OpenWorks: OS Authentication in R5000

OpenWorks R2003 use traditional external user as the authentication. By simply, creating user via sqlplus:
create user osuser identified externally
And you can connect to OpenWorks Oracle database by:
sqlplus /@openworksdb

In R5000, end user is still able to logon without password but the method is slightly different. R5000 uses Oracle Secure External Password Store. There’s a good tutorial on this created by oracle-base.com.

The wallet directory is set by ${OW_HOME_DIR} environment variable. By default the value is equal as ${HOME}. You would see wallet directory in your home directory. So, if your R5000 environment is set correctly, you will able to do:
sqlplus /@openworksdb
