Hi, I can login to sqlplus to all our remote databases from my pc if I login as system but not if I login as myself. I get the ORA-12154 message with my login. My tnsnames.ora is set correctly because I can login as system. My password is correct because I can connect to dbartisan with my login, I just can't use sqlplus if I'm connected as myself. I also tried to connect directly to sqlplus from the server where the database is located and I get the same error message. So I'm thinking this is really a misleading error message. My login has been granted connect, resource and dba roles. Is this an LDAP permission issue? Below is the setting for my sqlnet.ora.


SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon Apr 2 09:10:40 2007

Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name



# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\ora9i\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

#NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = pacificorp.us

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ldap,tnsnames)

#NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (tnsnames,ldap)

Please help, this driving me nuts.

Thanks,

Lyn

12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause:  A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a 
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file.  Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:
//      - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
//        accessible.
//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
//        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
//        are correct.
//      - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
// 
//   See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
//   operating system specific guide for more information on naming.
