Hi
We are having difficulties connecting from Windows95/98 Oracle client
on Oracle server(unix) with securid authentication.
My configuration is as follows:
- Oracle server 7.3.4 resides on an Unix machine with SGI Irix 6.5 with
Advanced security option including SecurID authentication adapter.
- ACE server is on Windows NT.
- Oracle clients are on Windows 95/98.
Connecting to the oracle database with SecurID works fine (localy and
over
SQLNet) but only when connecting from Oracle clients running UNIX.
When trying to connect from an Win95/98 PC with SQLplus (with installed Oracle client software) it doesn't even try to authenticate on the ace server it just ends with 'invalid username/password' error. (users are correctly entered into oracle and ace server!) We also tried putting SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(SECURID) line into sqlnet.ora in Windows!
We already tried putting sdconf.rec on Win 95/98 clients in several directories (c:\var\ace , c:\Pcclient ...) but it didn't work.
On win95 our sqlnet.ora looks like this:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(SECURID)
AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES)
names.default_domain = world
name.default_zone = world
Regards
Sunil
