With kerberos, you shouldn't do "identified externally", you should do "identified globally". And yes, gooey tools are just for wimps. Real programmers use "ed".

Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 3:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I'm trying to get Kerberos authentication to work. I am not using LDAP at all. I just want to authenticate with Kerberos. Kerberos itself is working fine. "kinit" and "klist" work as expected. I had our security admin create a service principle. Does there have to be one per machine or one per database? Does the service principle need to match the sql*net service name? When one issues okinit <username> what is the format of the username? No matter what I use okinit does not request a password and oklist shows no credentials. After configuring sqlnet.ora. I am testing now on the database machine itself any connects which employ that version fail with ora-12699 whether or not they are identified "externally" or via the database. Being old school, I don't like using aids such as netmgr. Nearly all these types of tools are awful when they first come out. But I tried to use them to setup Kerberos authentication. I save the network configuration, but when I go back into the tool nothing appears to be saved. Is this normal?
