 Hi all,

In order for us to change to a new enerprise backup solution, I need to change the log on properties for the Oracle TNS listener service and OracleSerivceSID service on our Windows systems.  I need to change it to a domain user account which we selected.  Ever since then I am not able to use OS authentication when connecting to my target database.  I receive RMAN-04005: error from target database:  and ORA-12631: Username retrieval failed when I connect using RMAN TARGET / CATALOG RMAN_user/rman_pass@rman_db.  I have SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS), which I would like to keep because I want to do OS authentication.  The new domain user account that we created is in the ORA_DBA group.  Again previously when the above services logon properties were using the Local System Account, everything was fine.  Now that I am trying to use this new domain user account, it fails.

Howdy, Stranger!
