ORA-12638 Credential retrieval failed
Trying to install Ora9iR2 and the server installation was already completed - the Installer was already at the Configurations and the weirdest thing happened - error in the title came from nowhere.
In short, I yelled, I googled and here it is - you have to go to your ORA_HOME\network\admin\sqlnet.ora and change the following line
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
into this
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE)
It disables the OS-based authentication, I think. That's why it failed. I didn't have oracle user named the same as my OS user..
Or maybe I'm completly on the wrong tracks - but it works, so I don't care as much anymore. (Well, I'd like to care, but there really isn't that much time in my hands, so I'll postpone the thorough investigation to the next time this happens :) )
