Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
I met a problem in Net8 configuration.
In connection between Win95 and Oracle8i in WinNT 4.0 with SP3, I receive
the
message in testing the connection as follow:
Attempting to connect using userid: scott
The test did not succeed.
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
There may be an error in the fields entered, or the server may not be ready for a connection.
I've no idea about this problem, and I cannot find the detail about ORA-12638 in the reference documents. Does any suggestion or advice for me? Thanks for your attention.
Regards,
