Credential Retrieval

On installing Oracle 8i I let a database get created. On initialising the database an error occurred, something to do with credential retrieval. I've forgotten what the error code was. Anybody got any ideas.
Many thanks
Andrew

I have a similar configuration. I'm running Oracle client on Win2k. The 8.1.6 server is running on a different. I didn't have this problem until last week when we upgraded the server from NT 4 to Win2k Advance Server.
As best I can tell, the problem has to do with the server trusting the client (at a network level). I can connect fine using sqlplus. But a custom DLL running as a service gets the credential error unless I change the service to run as a account known to the NT Domain, not just a local Win2k account.

Kerberos Authentication between Sharepoint 2013 Foundation - SSRS 2012 - Oracle 11g failing with ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed

I have set up SharePoint 2013 Foundation, SharePoint Reporting Services and SQL Server 2012 in a single server. I then created a Data Connection to Oracle 11g. Upon testing the connection, it throws the error “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Given below are the steps of installation and configuration.
Installation till basic authentication:
The installation has been done in a
single server.
Installed SQL Server 2012 (Developer version).
Selected only the following features:
Database Engine Services
Analysis Services
Reporting Services – SharePoint
Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products
Management Tools – Basic
- Management Tools - Complete
2. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP1.
3. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP2.
  4. Installed SharePoint Foundation 2013.
5. Created web application (without Kerberos; we did not even create the SPNs).
      The application pool has been configured to use Reporting Services account since it is a single server installation. This account has been registered as a managed
account.
6. Created Site Collection.
7. Verified that Reporting Services is not installed.
8. Installed SharePoint Reporting Services from SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
9. Verified that Reporting Services is installed.
10. Created a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and associated the Web Application to the new SQL server Reporting Services Service Application.
11. Verified that SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and its proxy have started. Reset IIS.
12. Created a Site.
  13. Created a Data Connection library with “Report Data Source” content type.
14. Created a Report Model library with “Report Builder Model” content type.
15. Created a Report library with “Report Builder Report” content type.
16. Uploaded an SMDL to the Report Model library.
  17. Added the top level site to Local Intranet instead of as a Trusted Site in the browser settings.
  18. Able to create and save a report using Report Builder.
Hence, basic authentication is working and SSRS is able to connect to Oracle database.
Next we have to configure Kerberos settings between SharePoint and SQL Server.
Implementation of Kerberos authentication
In the Report Server machine, opened the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\Reporting\rsreportserver.config and added the Authentication Types of RSWindowsNegotiate
and RSWindowsKerberos.
2. Set up the following SPNs.
               a) SQL Server Database Engine service (sqlDbSrv2):
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
                setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110.cer.demo.com:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
             In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)".
b) Account: SharePoint Setup Admin account (spAdmin2)
     setspn -S HTTP/CER1110:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any  service
(Kerberos only)".
c) Account: SQL Server Reporting Service account (sqlRepSrv2)
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110 CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                   In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
(Kerberos only)".
3. Configure the Web Application to use “Negotiate (Kerberos)”.
4. Logged in as SharePoint Administrator to the SharePoint server and opened the top level site in the IE browser.
     The Event Viewer logged the login process for the SharePoint Administration account as
Negotiate and not Kerberos.
5. Implemented Kerberos for Oracle database and client.
     Able to connect to the Oracle database via Kerberos authentication using SQL Plus.
6. Turn on Windows Firewall.
7. While testing the site's data connection using Kerberos settings, got the error
“Can not convert claims identity to windows token. This may be due to user not logging in using windows credentials.”
      Note: The Data Connection for basic authentication still worked.
8. Created a Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2).
9. Started the Claims to Windows Token Service.
10. Registered the Claims to Windows Token Service account as a Managed Account.
11. Changed the Claims To Windows Token Service to use the above managed account.
12. Verified that the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) is automatically added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box.
      Note: The Reporting Services service account is also a part of the WSS_WPG local group.
13. Added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) to the Local Admin Group on the machine having the SharePoint App Server.
14. In the SharePoint box, added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) in the Act as part of the operating system policy right.
15. The Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) has the WSS_WPG group configured.
      When the C2WTS service was configured to use the managed account Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) earlier, the spC2WTS2 account was automatically
added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box. The WSS_WPG group in turn is configured in c2wtshost.exe.config file.
16. Verified that the Reporting Services account is a managed account and part of the WSS_WPG group.
17. Earlier Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service was associated with the SharePoint Admin account.
      Changed this to associate the Reporting Service account with the Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service.
18. Changed the delegation of the Reporting Service account to constrained delegation with Protocol Transitioning. This is because we are transitioning from one authentication scheme (Claims) to another (Windows Token).
      For this, the delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use
any authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
      Note: The Reporting Service account already had an HTTP SPN.
19. Next, the goal was to make the Claims To Windows Token Service account match the Reporting Service account.
       For this, we created a fake SPN for the Claims To Windows Token Service account since the delegation tab was missing.
       The delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use any
authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
20. Restarted the SharePoint server.
21. Tested the data connection with the Kerberos settings again.
       Got the error
“ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this setup?

11.2g Installation error on Win7: ORA-12638 Credential Retrieval Failed

I'm attempting to install an Oracle instance on my computer, which is Windows 7, 64-bit. In the middle of the installation I got an error fro Credential Retrieval. I've looked for solutions and they all related to modifying sqlnet.ora. However, at this point in the installation, there does not appear to be such a file on my system, so I can't very well change it. What can I do to install this? Thanks. I thought this might take thirty minutes, not my entire work day.

Here is the last 100 lines of the installation log. First, though, I have an Oracle client to use to talk to the Oracle database behind PeopleSoft, but I don't want to touch that database for what I'm doing. I need to have a separate database I can experiment in. Thanks.

You've posted to the wrong forum, this is the Application Express forum.

Express edition and Credential retrieval failed - again

Following a successfull installation of the Express edition, I get the common problems of home page not available and 'credential retrieval failed' when I try to login as the system/sysdba. I have read all the threads I have found and have found no remedies which help. I have also tried the following:
- sqlnet.ora: removing the (NTS) auth. service. This just creates another error message:'Oracle not available'
What more is there to check?
My OS is Windows XP SP3
Re-installation: tried multiple times as local administrator and user with the admin rights - no change.

Well, I am not an expert but, after having installed Oracle XE several times on several platforms, and having experienced some problems, I suspect that you should give a try with WXP SP2 instead of WXP SP3...
Good luck!

Can anyone help. I have taken export backup of my schema before holiday. I can load that but I need advice what should I do to recover. To me its login connectivity problem.

check the file sqlnet.ora where the database is installed for an entry like SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS). If so, disable it.

Help .....Credential retrieval failed Error

Hi all,
I am geting below error, when i run my application with backend Oracle 9i.
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Please Help.
Thanks,
Sam

I believe this is because of Active Directory servers on your network.
Essentially, your NT logon information has been lost by the network AD server. You will probably find that you can log on to a single session, but if you try and connect to another session from that one you will get this error. This can sometimes happen if you leave your client machine logged on over long periods of time (days or weeks).
Try rebooting your client PC, which usually re-registers your credentials with the AD server.
If it continues, speak to your network admin team.

ORA-12635 Credential Retrieval Failed

Hi All
When I try to install the Oracle database enterprise edition 8.1.7(release 3) on windows NT client(with service pack 5) it stopped at configuration assistant with an error ORA-12635 Credential failed with prompt to Ignore or Abort, when i chose ignore it hangs , so i cancelled the Installation and redo again. but the same error came out and i am unable to continue installation.
when i try to connect database using SQLPlus as scott/tiger it gives an error TNS:12560-Protocol adaptor error.
Thanks in anticipation for the reply
M.Ayub

Install the Oracle Server without any database and
after try to create the database through the assistant.
I recommend you to apply servipack6 for NT which is
the lastest servipack for that OS.

Oracle 9i ODBC - credential retrieval error

I am unable to get past opening a connection through ODBC (or
OLE/DB) into Oracle 9i. My code works fine with Oracle 8i and
fails with 9i at the ADO open connection point. Needless to say
I'm happy with the network setup etc in every other way in that
I can get into the database with SQL*Plus and indeed JDBC!

Did not see the 9i version on OTN. If you have a support contract you file an SR to request the media.
In the 10g version the Oracle Installer is not required you copy the files into a folder on the client and then set an environment variable to point to the files.

Error 12638-Credential retrieval failed

I am running net8 on a win98 machine and attempting to connect to a v8.1.6 db on an NT box. I run in a Novell environment and do not load the "Client for Microsoft Networks". When this client is loaded I can connect, otherwise I get the 12638 error.
My network people are adement about not loading the Microsoft Client.
Does the Oracle client require that the Microsoft Client be loaded? Or is this indicative of a different problem?
Thanks

Michael,
Oracle uses a listener to set up all network protocols to listen for (listener.ora on the server). You may load or not Microsoft Network, but the you need to set up the listener to cary about Novell's SPX or to enable TCP/IP protocol in Novell env. Then you have to include a database descriptor, according SPX protocol in tnsnames.ora (on client site). In my oppinion, you are loosing one of your protocols when Microsoft Networks is not loaded (should not but...) and Oracle is not set to listen on Novell's SPX

TNS-12683 "Credential retrieval failed"

Hi all,
Can someone explain to me what that error means?
On the forums I find this:
"“NTS” option tries to use your Windows credentials to authenticate with Oracle. So unless your Oracle logins match your Windows login – this may fail."
"The Oracle Database adapter requires the adapter clients to provide client credentials. The adapter uses these credentials to authenticate the user with the Oracle database and to establish a connection."
What this really means? I can not connect to my database.
One solution is:
in sqlnet.ora change
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
to
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
My question is what cous this error, and why database works well for few year, and suddenly the error occurs? My listener.log file is 2Gb large, is this a reason for error?
Tnx,
Smee

I have had this error when there were too many sessions for my database. Ran fine for a few months and then hit our session limit from initialization parameters. Ours had been set to 250 and we needed 300.

Credential Failure (solved by client reboot)

We are developing an app that goes against a 9.2.x database in our development environment. We've had SQLPLUS and other connections fail to establish at times with a "TNS-12638 Credential retrieval failed" message, typically after stress testing of the jdbc connected user interface.
Checking the server side shows no database errors and the sqlnet logs show the same credential failures.
The problem is resolved by rebooting client pc's, with no action required on the server at all.
Any ideas as to what we should do to avoid these errors??
thanks,
Ed Swain

Hi,
I don't understand why this work fine after reboot.
But, if client is on Windows 2000 or 2003 domain servers, you can see Metalink note HOWTO Debugging Failed Oracle NTS Connections (290147.1)

Several common issues
1) attempting to install without being administrator on the machine
2) attempting to install while being Domain administrator instead of local administrator
3) machine has DHCP address and Micorosft Loopback Adapter is not installed
4) Insufficient memory
5) Other Oracle stuff installed already
6) Other stuff installed that uses port 1521 and/or port 8080
7) XP Home
8) Not following the install instructions at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
The list goes on, and on.

Trying to setup a RADIUS connection with challenge response

I need to test a RADIUS authentication and I've read note id 272804.1 and http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14268/asoradus.htm.
I'm trying to connect from DEVDB machine using sqlplus as client and connect to the local database server 10gr2 which then should act as RADIUS client to finally try to reach another machine with hostname DEVRADIUS.
I'm using freeRadius which delegate authentication and authorization phases to a OTP service. Other middleware services are able to use this kind of RADIUS authentication with no problem: so this radius configuration is perfectly working for other clients.
I've done some tests, but I'm not able to connect to DEVRADIUS from the Oracle database.
Executing ./adapters and ./adapters ./oracle showed me the RADIUS authentication is available.
When I try to connect using my external user I'm receiving the following error:
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
A firewall exists between the database server and clients, but the port 1812 used to connect my database DEVDB to radius server DEVRADIUS has been open (UDP)
My sqlnet.ora

Previously I've created this user:

Any suggestions?

Also see Kernel_Modules so the module is loaded automatically at boot.
Seriously? I spent that many hours searching for my several error messages, trying to solve them, not wanting to ask for help without putting too much of my own effort into it and when I finally decide to ask for help it is when I didn't get a super essential thing like makepkg doesn't install and is merely to create .pkg.tar.xz?? Oh gosh... (;
Well, thank you! I guess I'll take my next change to use Google to find out how to use makepkg without --asroot. Yes, wl is loaded now and it's set as the kernel driver in use!
Unfortunately, after ip link set wlp2s0 up and typing dmesg | grep wl I get:
wl: module license 'Mixed/Proprietary' taints kernel.
wlan0: Broadcom BCM4727 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.248 (r487574)
systemd-udevd[148]: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlp2s0
wl 0000:02:00.0: no hotplug settings from platform
wl 0000:02:00.0: no hotplug settings from platform
wl 0000:02:00.0: no hotplug settings from platform
wl 0000:02:00.0: no hotplug settings from platform
And therefor: No firmware loaded. Google doesn't give much about this message but hints to PCI or PCI-Express not working as it should. I found this and tried starting with pciehp.pciehp_force=1 and ordered a modprobe acpiphp but nothing changed.
