Hi,

Outcomment or set the following parameter to NONE in your "sqlnet.ora" file:

# SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)


Best regards.

Hi,

I did the same on a custom PC but it did not solve anything.
So, my question is: do I have to do it on sqlnet.ora server
file instead of custom file.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes

This has to be done in sqlnet.ora on the server.

You may change your "SQLNET.ORA" file with both :

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE,NTS)

And thanks for your answers that solved my problem too.

Well Guys, I'm not that much expert guy in Oracle, but from what can make out the NTS (Network Telephony Services)makes the Oracle client attempt to use your current Windows domain credentials to authenticate you with the Oracle server. This could fail for a couple of reasons:

- The Oracle server is not configured to support Windows authentication
- The credentials you use to login to your local machine are not sufficient to allow you to login to the server.

In my case, our Network Administrator had changed the password OS user, while rebooting the system, the Oracle popped up with the Credential Failure.

Replacing the line:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

with

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

in sqlnet.ora resolved the issue by disabling local support for authenticating using Windows credentials.

Another option is ORA-12638 happens when you haven't rebooted your system. You need to enter the windows authentication again in order to have full access again to the database. Perhaps the oracle version is reinstalled.

So just reboot and login to your windows!

Hi, I am facing this problem between 2 instances in different servers.
I have to use SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) because we use windows (AD) authentication.

Does anybody know something about it ?

Thanks in advance
