Amir,

Being a mere mortal I would like to refer to a very interesting point
that I fully agree with. It's expressed by a person well respected in
Oracle and beyond. I am sure you know/heard of him -
http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/05/why.html

From your post it was quite clear that what you do doesn't make much
sence (or read it as not clear at all what is the purpose) and,
consequently, mix of incompatible methods of athentication. The
question about initial requirements and ideas is very appropriate in
this context and I hinted that very clearly. Perhaps, you have read
this already but it might be useful to get back to it and others might
find it very interesting as well -
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal

To summarize, with no replies on your question for two hours I wanted
to be helpful enough to hint you possible directions instead of simple
RTFM that some people consider to be a bit rude (well, I don't!). In
case of any concerns, please contact me privately and I am very open
to discuss it.

Regards,
Alex

You know, I don't understand what is it with some experts that when you ask
a question - that you have looked everywhere to find the answer and you
couldn't or you could but didn't understand it - instead of helping you,
make you more confused by asking other questions like "why do you want to do
this?".

Maybe I'm not an expert in Oracle. But if I was I would never answer
somebody's question like that.

Thanks again Jared,
Amir
