Moses;

You can get this patch by ftp'ing to updates.oracle.com. I already did and saw that it was there.

Then CD to the patch number. You can not list the patches , nothing shows up. Just CD to the number and then ls to see the patch.

I did this and got the following :

Hi gurus,

I just installed Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows XP successfully. However on creation
of database using the Database Configuration Assistant, I get the error ORA-12638 'Credential Retrieval Failed' on initialisation of database and thereafter the process stalls.

I visited Metalink and found out that I require patch 1522966. However, this patch cannot be found. Does any one have it?

Secondly, I am using SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) in my SQLNET.ORA file (which is suggested as a probable fix to no avail.

Any suggestions?
