Hi.
I've just installed Oracle 9i client on a W2000 Professional and when I try to connect to the database I receive this message: TNS-12638 Credential retrieval failed. The error messages book says: Enable tracing to determine exact error. I don't know how to turn tracing on.

My database is working ok, and I have about 10 machines with Windows ME working on the database without problems.
I checked every tnsnames.ora and all of them seem to be ok, but on windows 2000 puts the domain name at the end of the service name. This is my tnsnames.ora:

DESA01.AWSCENTRAL.AWS.ES =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = desa01)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = desa01)
)
)

I think there's a problem when using GLOBAL_NAMES and the default domain path, but I'm not sure.
When I login to the machine with a user that belongs to the local domain it works ok, but the problem is when I use a user that belongs to another domain (the central server).

Can u help me?
Thanks.
