Our development staff is rewriting an Oracle Forms application into a
.NET Smart Client application using MS AD for application
authentication.   The smart client application will be launched from the
web browser but the client machine will have the Oracle Instant Client
installed and all database connection will be made from the PC.  I am
looking for ideas on how to best implement database security.   Right
now we are pulling a generic database username/password account from the
application server and making all database calls from the pc with one
database account.   I have been looking at Kerberos or OID to do AD
single sign on for the database but I don't want to make things more
complicated then needed.   

 

I was just looking for any suggestions or ideas for this type of
architecture.   Everything I am reading in the Oracle documents is
talking application servers with connection pooling.
