I'm guessing, but it sounds like an ORA-12641 error which is usually caused by the client or the server attempting to use Advanced Networking Option authenticaiton.

Ask the web server administrator or the database administrator to insert the following line into sqlnet.ora:

sqlnet.authentication_services=(beq,none)

That should make the problem go away.
