Using RADIUS to Log in to a Database

You can use RADIUS to log into a database by using either synchronous authentication mode or challenge-response mode.

• Start SQL*Plus and use one of the following ways to log in to the database:

  • If you are using the synchronous authentication mode, first ensure that challenge-response mode is not turned to ON, and then enter the following command:

CONNECT username@database_alias
Enter password: password

• If you are using the challenge-response mode, ensure that challenge-response mode is set to ON and then enter the following command:

CONNECT /@database_alias

The challenge-response mode can be configured for all login cases.
