Where in v$ views is hiding info about PROXY_USERNAME ?
I'am aware of little piece of information in v$session_connect_info and dbproxy_username column in unified_audit_trail.
Most appropriate place will be in v$session, but i didn't find it.

Regards Dejan

DBA_PROXIES shows you details of the current proxy sessions:

create user u identified by u;
alter user chris grant connect through u;

conn u[chris]/u

select * from dba_proxies;

PROXY    CLIENT    AUTHENTICATION    AUTHORIZATION_CONSTRAINT               ROLE      PROXY_AUTHORITY   
U        CHRIS     NO                PROXY MAY ACTIVATE ALL CLIENT ROLES    <null>    DATABASE

Active connected proxy sessions

Thanks for prompt answer.
This is dictionary data of proxy users also available in dba_proxies, but I am searching this dbproxy_username info for currently connected sessions.

Sorry, missed that. I'm not sure if that information is (easily) available. I'll ask around.

Is there anything new on active connected proxy sessions topic?

I think the closest you can get is V$SESSION_CONNECT_INFO which will tell you that it is a proxy (AUTHENTICATION_TYPE)
