Prior to Athene version 10.20, Acquire for UNIX/Linux always used the OS-level authentication method to access a local Oracle database. This uses the “bequeath” protocol which has the following properties:
  • Does not use a network Listener (therefore, no Listener configuration is required).

  • Automatically spawns a dedicated server

  • No user name and password is required to access the database.

  • Is used for local connections where an Oracle database client application, such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle database instance running on the same computer.

  • Only works in dedicated server mode – it cannot be used in a shared server mode.
