[Sudheer B]

Hi,

are delphi direct oracle access components having kerberos support? if so please let me know which version is having that.

thanks
sudheer.

Kerberos is transparent to the Oracle Client application, so no specific support is required.

Hey Marco,

do you have any sample code how to interact oracle using kerberos via DOA.

thanks
sudheer.

one more thing we have D7 license for DOA components. when we upgrade to xe2 or higher do we need to pay for DOA upgrade?

I have no personal experience with Kerberos, but the process of configuring Oracle Net for Kerberos Authentication is explained in the "Oracle Advanced Security Administrator's Guide", and the way I understand it is that it is transparent to Oracle Net applications (such as your Delphi application). The user connects without specifying a username/password, and instead Oracle Net uses the Kerberos ticket on the client machine.

If you have a 4.1 license then you can use any Delphi version, including XE2.
