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

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
