alter user identified externally

Hello.

I have not been able to alter users to "identified externally" unless the
user has sysdba privilege:

connect NonDba/password
alter user NonDba identified  externally
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

connect Dba/password
alter user NonDba identified externally

works successfully

Is that the restriction that oracle places on who exactly may execute this
command (I'm using oracle 10.2)
or is there a way to work around it?

thank you

Gene Gurevich
