This server 192.2.2.1 at XDB requires a username and password

Question

Hi all,
I am installing Apex 4.2 in Oracle 10.2.0.4 on SLES 11
But I got the above error. :(
I tried to google the error but to no avail. I see lots of similar error since 5 years ago and it seems there is no solution yet. sad sad sad.
Is Apex 4.2 not supported in 10gR2?
Please help.....
Thanks a lot,

We also had issues with Apex 4.2 and XDB
This from our WIKI:-
When XDB is used for Apex, the ANONYMOUS user must be configured for file access.
as sysdba run the following:
If this block has not been run, then when accessing Apex, one is channged for XDB credentials ("server said: XDB")
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
l_configxml XMLTYPE;
l_value VARCHAR2 (5) := 'true'; -- (true/false)
BEGIN
l_configxml := DBMS_XDB.cfg_get ();
IF l_configxml.
EXISTSNODE (
'/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig/allow-repository-anonymous-access') =
0
THEN
-- Add missing element.
SELECT INSERTCHILDXML (
l_configxml,
'/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig',
'allow-repository-anonymous-access',
XMLType (
'<allow-repository-anonymous-access xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd">'
|| l_value
|| '</allow-repository-anonymous-access>'),
'xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd"')
INTO l_configxml
FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Element inserted.');
ELSE
-- Update existing element.
SELECT UPDATEXML (
DBMS_XDB.cfg_get (),
'/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig/allow-repository-anonymous-access/text()',
l_value,
'xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd"')
INTO l_configxml
FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Element updated.');
END IF;
DBMS_XDB.cfg_update (l_configxml);
DBMS_XDB.cfg_refresh;
END;
