Hi all

I faced an issue while configuring Shared Server on my database.

Oracle 9.2.0.1
OS: WinXP Professional

Initial scenario:

sqlnet.ora file:

Quote:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)



Entry in tnsnames.ora:

Quote:

ORCL_Shared =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <my ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = Shared)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)





TNSPING response:

Quote:

tnsping orcl_shared

TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on 01-SEP-2005 12:12:06

Copyright (c) 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Used parameter files:
c:\oracle9i\network\admin\sqlnet.ora


Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = WINGR185013-013)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DA
TA = (SERVER = Shared) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
OK (10 msec)




LSNRCTL services result:

(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<my ip>)(PORT=3249))
"DEDICATED" established:1 refused:0 state:ready
LOCAL SERVER
The command completed successfully


Now with this configuration, When I try connecting using shared server connection I get:

Quote:

SQL> conn scott/tiger@orcl_shared
ERROR:
ORA-12637: Packet receive failed



After this I made the following change in sqlnet.ora:

Quote:

#SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)



Now I am able to connect.

Quote:

SQL> conn scott/tiger@orcl_shared
Connected.



Now my query is What does disabling the parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) signifies.


Thnx in advance

Girish

Hi,

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS) enables Windows NT native authentication.

If you hash it out, it will default to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE), which indicates that a valid Oracle username and password must be used to access the database.

Best regards.

Frank
