Dear all,

first I installed 32 bit 11.2.0.4 client. Next I installed Database binaries.

I've encounter these problems while installing the binaries and creating database from oracle universal installer,

ora-12638 credential retrieval failed

In the end binaries are installed but database is not created.

so I changed SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)

I reinvoke DBCA again, this time database is created.

but i cannot connect through OS authtication

I've check that I'm in the ORA_DBA group

The command completed successfully.


I've also checked that the %PATH% parameter place Oracle DB Home first before the client home


the closest post I came across is this https://community.oracle.com/thread/3540848

unfortunately my situation is even worse

any help rendered is really appreciated!

thanks and many thanks!

can confuse Windows, since V11 DB is only 64-bit.
We can't change problems made by you, Micro$oft, or Oracle.

Dear Blackswan,

the problem is we are installing a 32 bit application server on the same machine. this machine requires 32 bit client binaries to be installed.

I've installed client home then database, becoz the new PATH would be Oracle DB Home first then Oracle Client home.

I've check the certification matrix for 11.2.0.4 rdbms against 2012 server r2 64 bit, it stated certified to run on this OS.

Dear Michel,

how is it possible to trace connection problems due to os authentication? I believe that's only for remote connection right? thanks

You can't run SQL*Plus from your client home to connect with OS authentication. You have to run it from the DB home.

BLack swan, you are right.

sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS) => is correct

from Step by Step Guide to Troubleshoot and Solve the ORA-01031 Error for SYSDBA OS Authentication. (Doc ID 761830.1)

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=243153311175259&id=761830.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-st ate=ijjzilpu7_74

Quote:


sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS)

or

sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS,KERBEROS5)



Error will be


C:\Users\olaf>sqlplus / as sysdba

Michel, you are also right, there's way to trace OS authentication failure just that I din search hard enough,

the way to trace is also from above MOS Document


John,
yes, I did run from the database home. becoz of this experience now I installed the client first then database knowing very well that the db oracle home will be appended first to the path.

anyway this problem have to be resolved by MOS. Hopefully they can resolve this as soon as possible.

thanks you guys for the fast response!
