Re: Authentication Problem

Look Ok to me, but....

When creating the domain user in the database you use double quotes (
"OPS$<domainname>\<username>"
). It than becomes case sensitive as well. Make sure the case is spot on.

log on to the database as a dba user and look in v$session to see exact
spelling of your os account.
