Hi I found this from http://dbasupport.com/oracle/faq/Detailed/166.shtm

Open the sqlnet.ora and look for statements like

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
sqlnet.crypto_seed = "some text"

and comment out these lines using a "#" sign.

Hope it helps.

In the TNSNAMES.ORA file, change the name from "servicename.domain" to "servicename" and rename sqlnet.ora (This file is not required. It worked for me!

Hi All,

The below statements worked for me.

Open the sqlnet.ora and look for statements like

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
sqlnet.crypto_seed = "some text"

and comment out these lines using a "#" sign.

Can anyone explain me about this problem in detail.

Thanks to all

Manohar
