Using OS Authentication with JDev 

Developers may just have noticed that the JDeveloper IDE is now free of charge (support costs mind you). Anyway when I was playing around I noticed that os authentication does not work in the 10.1.0.3 developer preview - I assume it doesn't in any of the production versions either.

It turns out that this is a bug in the oci jdbc driver shipped with the base install of Oracle 10g database (and presumably other 10g branded products). This is fixed in 10.1.0.3 and above.

My solution therefore. Backup the jdev jdbc/lib directory and then replace the contents with the contents of jdbc/lib from a 10.1.0.3 or 10.1.0.4 Oracle Database Oracle_Home. You'll still need to use the oci8 driver of course.
