Hello,

I'm trying to connect from a redhat linux to an oracle database via kerberos authentification.
I can obtain a valid kerberos ticket via (I've replaced the credentials with placeholders for privacy reasons)

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

$ echo -n '<password>' | kinit <user> 
$ klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1021_dTZKCn
Default principal: <user>

Valid starting       Expires              Service principal
11/22/2021 15:44:36  11/23/2021 01:44:36  krbtgt/foo@bar.com
        renew until 11/29/2021 15:44:33

But when I try to connect to the database I get:

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

$ echo -n '<password>' | kinit <user>  && sqlplus /@<databasehost>:1550/<servicename>
Password for <user>:

I've no clue how to tackle this problem, and I'm quite new to setting up an oracle insta client on linux. Please help me to debug this issue.
