Authentication adapter initialization failed

[TechEd23]

Hi everyone,

I have installed a Oracle EE 8.1.7.0 database in windows 2000 server. I also run an Oracle EE 8.1.5 database. One of the main reasons for install 8.1.7 on a new server was to try and get rid of this VNI-2015 error that has been the bain of my existence.


Anyway in my oms.log I have found the following error:

Could someone tell me if this is the reason for me not being able to resolve the VNI-2015 error I have been getting.

Or is this just the error message that I am getting when I try a import/export in OEM 2.2.

Many thanks

Ok found out that there was a bug with OEM 2.2, that was the reason i kept getting this error &quot;ORA-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed&quot;, one bug of many aparently.

Managed to get access to metalink and found at least 38 separate pacthes for 8.1.7. The one I downloaded was 115mb.

Also found out the reason why I kept getting the VNI-2015 error with OEM 2.0.4 was not because the credentials were wrong but because it has a bug that does not allow exporting or importing.

Managed to get past the VNI-2015 in OEM 2.2 by Instead of creating an OS user logon for the domain I created one for just the server and then granted &quot;log on as a batch job&quot;.

Hope this is some help to any poor sole that gets stuck on the same problem.
