Can SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF point to a network folder?

in Database Security Products (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

We are implementing Kerberos for AD authentication into our Oracle 19c databases. When I configure the SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF on the client side to a local folder (i.e. C:\...\krb5.conf") everything is fine, but when I try to configure it at the enterprise level and use a network folder instead (i.e. \\network_folder\folder\...\krb5.conf), it no longer works.

Are UNC paths not allowed for this configuration parameter?
