SYMPTOMS
========
Oracle databases authenticate users that are logged on with SQL*Net
Authentication services. This service works fine for users logged into Oracle
through SQLPlus; however, when the logged on user is a service like Internet
Information Server, the authentication fails with the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-12641: TNS:authentication
service failed to initialize
CAUSE
=====
This is a known limitation of SQL*Net Authentication.
RESOLUTION
==========
The problem may be corrected by editing the Sqlnet.ora file. This configuration
file is usually stored in the Network/Admin subdirectory of the Oracle Home
directory. The following line needs to be added to this file:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (none)
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
