Kerberos Authentication Fails With ORA-12638 On Windows 2008 R2 (Doc ID 1225063.1)

Last updated on JANUARY 02, 2020

Applies to:

Advanced Networking Option - Version 11.2.0.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
***Checked for relevance on 24-Oct-2012***

Symptoms

A 11.2.0.1 client running on Windows 2008 R2 is not able to connect using kerberos.






This is happening only when SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CC_NAME = OSMSFT://. If the kerberos tickets are requested manually and stored in a file (SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CC_NAME = <file>) everything works as expected. Furthermore the problem cannot be reproduced on Windows 2000 or Windows  2003.
