you should send in a request as to why, perhaps, most don't care, but at least you have the workaround

Sure

servProp = layer.serviceProperties
print "Authentication: " + servProp.get('AuthenticationMode', 'N/A')

Output: "Authentication: OSA"

So, that part does work. I also revoked permissions for the Oracle OSA reader role and the layer does in fact stop working, as one would hope. The behavior looks right.

interesting... you should run a quick arcpy test to see what it reports if anything at all
