Unable to connect through OS Authentication on Oracle9i

hi,

I am trying to connect to an Oracle9i database which is on NT, using NT user acccount.

NT user :pnodba

Platform : Oracle on NT with Windows NT clients.

Initialization Parameters:
===========================
os_authent_prefix string
remote_os_authent boolean TRUE

entry for sqlnet.ora (client)
==============================
sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

Now if i issue :
c:> sqlplus /@ i get ORA-01017

Comment this out.

sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

and it will work.

Meet me in the lobby or call me at 1043 and ill see to ur problem...

Do you work in the same company :-)

Yes we are in the same company:)

On commenting

sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

in sqlnet.ora i am able to connect to as through OS authentication.
There should be an OS user and the database user in the database for OS authentication

However sqlnet.authentication_services parameter was required in the previous release of Oracle.
Why do we need to comment it in sqlnet.ora?Any ideas?

When you set

sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

IT allows for user authentication via the native operating system.
