Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> ORA-12641: TNS:authentication service failed to initialize
I'm flying blind here, as I don't have the SQL*Net docs yet (v2.3).
I can connect to the database (7.3.3) with SQL*Plus 3.3.3 if I issue:
sqlplus username/password
but if I type:
sqlplus username/password_at_service name
I get the error.
tnsping is able to see "service name."
Any ideas welcome!
