I am trying to set up my Oracle clients to use Hostnaming to connect to database services instead of tnsnames. I set up the the listener on the server point to a global db=test.db.krbf.com
I test.db.krbf.com has a record on my DNS server and from a client I can connect sqlplus scott/tiger@test.db.krbf.com.
However, I would like to simply connect scott/tiger@test without typing the FQDN. I set the NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = db.krbf.com in my sqlnet.ora thinking that it should automatically append db.krbf.com to any non FQDN service name. ie. sqlplus scoot/tiger@test would automatically append the db.krbf.com to test. This does not seem to work. Am I misunderstanding the NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN property? What would I need to do to achieve this?
