I've always considered that client version a bit suspect. Have you tried an 11g 
client?

1.)    Well, the crux of the issue is that "Domain" isn't being passed to the 
Oracle database from the client.  The Oracle connect info is constructed of the 
following (when using OS Authentication): OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX, Domain/Machine 
Name, Username.  Our db server does not have OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX set, yet my 
coworker beside me connects fine and his audited connection shows 
DOMAIN\Username.  My INITIAL connection (1st attempt) fails, and shows Username 
only (instead of DOMAIN\Username).



2.)    This is a Windows AD network.  Relevant to those who might have 
experienced similar issues on an AD network.



3.)    The INITIAL connect means, I can type SQL> connect /@db_name and it 
fails, and then type SQL> connect /@db_name again and it works.   Strange.

Anyone know how the Oracle Client (10.2) passes the DOMAIN portion of the 
client info to the remote DB server?
 It appears that my Oracle 10.2.0.1 client (nor 10.2.0.4) are passing the 
DOMAIN portion.  I'm on an AD network.
 I've turned on auditing and verified that the username passed in is "TAYLORCD" 
without the domain portion and receives ORA-01017 invalid username/password.  
Only the initial connect attempt experiences this behavior.

There really isn't enough information here to work with.

You mention AD for instance.  How is that relevant?
Is the Oracle account using OS authentication?

What does "Only the initial connect attempt experiences this behavior" actually 
mean.
I can immediately think of at least two interpretations of this.
