This section has references to documentation and notes about O/S authentication, a.k.a.
external authentication, the authentication is delegated to the operating system which
hence needs to be trustworthy. Please note the distinction between authenticating via

13) Oracle Label Security
Oracle Label Security enables application developers to add label-based access control for the applications. It mediates access to rows in database tables based on a label contained in the row, and the label and privileges associated with each user session. For queries Oracle Label Security is using the Oracle Virtual Private Database technology. For DMLs it is using a set of triggers.
