Description
- Describe your new request in detail
So the thick mode of connecting to Oracle Database supports Kerberos External Authentication.
While it's not supported in Thin mode.
This makes it a pain as we have to bundle the client libraries as well when deploying the applications.
This means that our size of application increases a lot! Something not great.
If Kerberos was supported in Thin Mode, then we no longer need to load the client libraries!
- Give supporting information about tools and operating systems. Give relevant product version numbers

Thank you for considering. I am wondering if other DBs such as MySQL or Postgress SQL support Kerberos in Thin mode?
