Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> windows 2000 question
I'm a windows newbie. I'm installing windows 8.1.7 on a win2K box. When I ran the oradim utility I didn't specify an internal password. In my sqlnet.ora file, I specify SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS). When I do this, I can connect as internal sysdba fine without a password. But a batch job that I have set to run as a scheduled task fails, with an error ORA-12640 Authentication Adapter Initialization failed.
When I change my sqlnet.ora file and specify SQLNET_AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE, then my batch job runs fine, but I can no longer log on as "connect internal as sysdba". It prompts me for a password but when I give it the sys password it fails with an ORA-1031 Insufficient privileges.
Would it help for me to rerun the oradim specifying an internal password?
We have oracle set up on another windows box by someone else. SQLNET_AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE, when I try to connect as internal sysdba, it prompts me for a password and when I provide the password, it logs me on OK AND the batch job run OK too.
I'm obviously missing something here that I haven't picked up reading the
manuals. Can anyone of you provide me some direction?
Thank you in advance!
