Linked Server - Oracle - sys as sysdba

Hey gangI've been googling for ages now and haven't got to the bottom of this.Essentially I just need to create a Linked Server to a few Oracle instances. My system = Win10 x64, SSMS Express 2014, Oracle Client 12102 x64So, I was able to set up a connection using the UN & PW I was given.Once established I noticed that I was only seeing a few tables in the catalog (as I have a direct connection through PL/SQL dev)I then realised that I needed to connect using the SYS credentials to get sight of all tables....which I quickly found didn't work. I kept receiving Username/PW errors from the Linked server dialogue.I then went to test the connection in the Oracle client directly. I eventually discovered that I could connect using this syntax: username [quote]sys[/quote]PW [quote]<sys password> as sysdba[/quote]However when putting this into the [i]Linked Server/Security/Be made using this secruity context [/i] boxes I couldnt fatham how to get it to connectSurely someone has managed to conquer this issue?Thanks in advance
