Hi,

I'm trying to set up an Oracle client on a Citrix-based terminal server environment.

My environment:
- Citrix Metaframe XPe FP3 SP4 on Windows 2000 advanced server SP4

Oracle client 10g 10.2.0.1.0

What I'm trying to do is connecting to a remote database using the Oracle client. So I installed the Oracle client and defined the tnsnames.ora file.

Now it's the time to execute sqlplus: everything works like a charm when I connect to the terminal server as administrator. But when I connect using a normal user the connection doesn't succeed: the sqlplus (after having given username, password and host string) closes its window immediately, without giving to me the possibility to read the Oracle error number (which I see do appears but too shortly).

Other applications (like Toad) again work when I connect to the terminal server as administrator, but show a more generic error ("Can't initialize OCI; Error -1).

So, something is missing and I'm trying to figure out what. Any tip to solve my problem? Thank you in advance for every possible suggestion!
