TNS-12641: Authentication service failed to initialize

Murali MohanMar 24 2011 — edited Apr 6 2011

Hi Guys,

My database is Oracle 10.2.0.4 running on SuSe Linux 10 SP3 64-bit.
I have setup few shell scripts which uses OS authentication.
So, I have setup SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (ALL) in SQLNET.ORA file of my database server.

I have dbconsole configured which is ok except that it reports "TNS-12641: Authentication service failed to initialize".
It is not able to connect to database as "dbsnmp/pwd@orcl".
But, I configured RMAN backup using dbconsole and it is running fine.
If I change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) in SQLNET.ORA of my database server, then it is fine, but my shell scripts are failing.

Please help me find a workaround or solution to this.

Regards,
Murali Mohan
