PlsqlAuthenticationMode

Specifies the authentication mode to use for allow

access through this DAD.

Notes:

Most customer applications use Basic Authentication. Custom Authentication
modes (GlobalOwa, CustomOwa, PerPackageOwa) are used by very few
PL/SQL applications. The SingleSignOn mode is supported only for Oracle
Application Server releases, and is used by Oracle Application Server Portal
and Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On.

If the DAD is not using the Basic authentication, then you must include a
valid username/password in the DAD configuration. For the Basic mode, if
you wish to perform dynamic authentication, the DAD username/password
parameters must be omitted.

In older versions of the product, this configuration parameter was derived from
a combination of enablesso and custom_auth.
