To the best of my knowledge this is not possible on the system you describe.
What you are requesting is to log on to the database with no password veri-
fication whats-so-ever.  If your database server is connected to internet
you are allowing anyone (well actually any system manager to access your
data).  In the near future this may be possible under VMS.  Note I say may!
That's if I understand how proxy logins work!?  But you will at least be able
to control the nodes which have access.
