ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Dear Friends, 25th Aug 2001 18:36 hrs chennai
O/S==>WIN2000
DB ==>Oracle 8.1.6
Today i had a unique problem and found the solution for the same.
C:\>svrmgrl
Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.6.0.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 1997, 1999, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
SVRMGR> exit
Server Manager complete.
C:\>sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Wed Aug 25 17:55:22 1999
(c) Copyright 1999 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: maximo
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNSrotocol adapter error
For the above problem in SQLNET.ORA file i just changed the
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
instead of
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
This is a test DB and was running fine for a months time.
I think we have to keep on Updating with Latest Windows2000 and Oracle Patches to avoid such errors.
I dont know when this Win2000 going to get stable.
Anyone had such problem please share your thought on the same.
Cheers
Padmam

Interesting... I did the same once with SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES on NT server for the following reason: I wanted also password for internal. However, if SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES is not NONE, if you log into NT as administrator, then at SVRMGRL level, internal is not asked for a password. Setting SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to NONE asks password for internal even if you log as administratot.

back to normal
Dear Julian, 26th Aug 2001 12:24 hrs chennai
You are right .
1)When you set
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) no need for Pwd for Connect Internal at SVRMGRL prompt whereas if you mention as NONE in the above parameter it prompts for Pwd at SVRMGRL prompt while you try to Connect internal.
2)Now back i have set
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE) now i dont have the previous error as mentioned in this thread.
I dont know how come Oracle behaves like this ?
can anybody share you exp simillar to this one.

I am also very interested in that.
It is a bit of a security risk.

I read a document in metalink which says this is a bug.
Below is the Anwer to your question from metalink.
You do not need to comment out sqlnet.authentication_services within the sqlnet.ora. You can apply the latest 8.1.6 patchset as the ora-12538 problem has a fix. If you have not applied any patchsets to the 8.1.6 release you will want to download and install 8.1.6.3.0 and then install 8.1.6.3.4 to fix this problem. Please read the readme.txt files for more installation instructions before application

10x! However, I have this "bug" on 8.1.7 :-)
It seems that Oracle has not fixed it after 8.1.6

HI
Earlier i had the default password for internal and when i user svrmgr and login using internal it would not ask for password.But now i used the orapwd utility and changed the password.So irrespective of you set the sqlnet.authentication_service to none or any value when ever i login user internal i am prompted for password.

Did you log into the system as administrator? Probably not?
