[DOC]

A new OCI_CRED_EXT flag can be passed as the "session_mode" parameter
to oci_connect(), oci_new_connect() and oci_pconnect().

  $c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT);

This tells Oracle to do external or OS authentication, if configured
in the database.

OCI_CRED_EXT can only be used with username of "/" and a empty
password.  Oci8.privileged_connection may be On or Off.  OCI_CRED_EXT
is not supported on Windows for security reasons.

The new flag may be combined with the existing OCI_SYSOPER or
OCI_SYSDBA modes (note: oci8.privileged_connection needs to be On for
OCI_SYSDBA and OCI_SYSOPER), e.g.:

  $c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT+OCI_SYSOPER);
