My users have need to access an oracle database outside of our network. When anonymous access is allowed, the users have no problem connecting to the database (after the proper port(s) were opened). As soon as I force authentication by allowing web proxy clients only, access to the database fails with INTEGRATED authentication selected. If basic is selected, the user is prompted once with a dialog box when launching IE, and once when trying to access the oracle database which does work. The oracle client uses a program called jinitiator 1.1.7.27 which has proxy settings in the control panel that the program uses for configuration. This makes no sense to me, but I do not know much, if anything about Oracle. Anyone have a clue?
