Oracle XE 18C - ORA-28040 From Toad 10.6 Using 11gR2 Full Client

scottrinozApr 7 2019 — edited Apr 14 2019

HI All,

Have recently Installed Oracle XE 18C on a new Windows 10  Enterprise (x64) Azure VDev.

I'd previously had installed the Oracle 11gR2 Full Client and Toad 10.6 and have been using it to connect to various other Oracle instances (all 10 & 11g instances)

When I try to connect to XE 18C (on localhost) I'm just getting the ORA-28040 Error.

I've already added (as suggested elsewhere in other posts/google) "SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER = 11" to both the Server & Client sqlnet.ora, rebooted, but it's not helped at all.

Is there something else that needs to be done?

All the other references I've seen pretty much all point to versions other than XE 18C, so I'm just guessing that something else may have been changed for 18C.

(Its all a bit of  stark contrast to MS SQL Express 2017 which was up and running immediately after install, hate it as I may it just works out of the box).

Any help is appreciated.
