Connecting Using OS Authentication

If your database is in the Oracle Cloud go to Connecting to Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB). For additional help using the connection dialog, visit the connection dialog help.

If using both Windows Client and Windows Database Server, set SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS) in a SQLNET.ORA file located in the directory that is set as Config Files Folder in the Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code Extension Settings. By default this location is %USERPROFILE%\Oracle\network\admin

Follow the steps in Connecting Using Host Name/IP Address and Service Name or Connecting Using a TNSNAMES.ORA Connection Alias above, except

• In the User name field, enter a forward slash: /

• The Password field should be left empty.
