Allows standard user authentication for specified users.

Syntax

dbsrv17 -al userid[ ;userid ... ] ...

Applies to

All operating systems.

Remarks

Allow the users specified in the semicolon separated list of user IDs to use standard authentication. At most 5 user IDs can be specified.

This option is useful if the login_mode option does not include standard authentication and the user cannot authenticate using alternate means. Users with full DBA privileges can always authenticate using standard authentication.
