JDBC thin driver connection problems using cybersafe authentication

Question

Hi
i am trying to use jdbc thin driver to connect to oracle 8.1.7 DB using ASO and cybersafe authentication.
Question:
Does the oracle jdbc thin driver in 8.1.7.0.0 support third-party authentication features supported by Oracle Advanced Security--such
as those provided by RADIUS, Kerberos, or SecurID
i am getting the following error.
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: invalid arguments in call

Following is the program i am trying.
public class ASOJdbc {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
          String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@son1129:1521:sonias";
          Connection con;
          String query = "select EMPNO, ENAME from EMP";
          Statement stmt;
          // ASO Stuff
               Properties props = new Properties();
               try {
               props.put("oracle.net.authentication_services", "CYBERSAFE");
               props.put("oracle.net.authentication_gssapi_service", "oracle/[email protected]");                    
               props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "DES");
               props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_server", "DES");               
               props.put("oracle.net.crypto_seed", "4fhXXXX");               
               } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();
               DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
               // ASO
               con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
               stmt = con.createStatement();
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
               stmt.close();
               con.close();

Answer 1

1. What JDBC Thin client Driver are you using? (version) If you don't know, open up the Manifest.
2. the JDBC/OCI driver is a thick driver. It uses the oracle client, and therefore should read the tnsnames.ora
3. You have yet to give us any ORA- errors, which would help immensely in troubleshooting.
