Oracle configuration using Kerberos in two different realms

Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work (Cross Realm):

Microsoft 2000 KDC (Realm A)
Third Party KDC (Realm B) on Solaris

Sqlnet client (on Microsoft XP) resides in Realm A.

Oracle server (on Solaris 8) resides in Realm B. The service principal for the Oracle server was created on Realm B - it matches the service listed in the tnsnames.ora file. Oracle on the server is using the Third Party KDC for its authentication.

A mapping was created on Realm A for the service in Realm B. The user will log onto the client machine and authenticate using the Microsoft KDC (Realm A). But when they go to use Sqlplus they will need to access the Oracle server in Realm B - the reason for the mapping on Realm A. Basically, we want the user to be able to connect to the database without having to reenter their userid and password.

I have tested connecting to the instance on the server using a userid and password and that works fine.

I am new to using Oracle and trying to understand the parameter settings for the client and server side sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files. So I am not quite sure that I have them setup correctly. So far I either get 'failed to retrieve credentials' or 'authentication service not found' or 'service name not found'.

Any hints or pointers would be appreciated.
