OS Authentication

On Windows, UNIX, and Linux, Oracle has a feature called OS Authentication that allows you to connect to an Oracle database via the operating system user name and password. To connect, use a forward slash ( / ) for the user name and leave the password blank. To configure the Oracle server, refer to the Oracle server documentation. This feature is valid when connecting from a data source, a connection string, or a logon dialog box.
