ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol exception



I am trying to connect my grails project to Oracle databse(Oracle 12c) in windows(8) system. However, whenever i run my application i get following exception :

Caused by: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol

)

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol

According to internet suggestion i also tried editing my *.ora file but it is not working.

I added following snippet in sqlnet.ora file :

SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION=10
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=10
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=10

Here i tried assigning (10,11,12) but neither of them is working.

Can anyone please help me with this ?

Solution #1

Client side fix - to upgrade client version

I deleted the ojdbc14.jar file and used ojdbc6.jar instead and it worked for me

Solution #2

DB server side fix - to allow lower client version.

$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora文件，如果没有可以创建一个新的，加入下面的参数
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION=8 

SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=8 

SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=8
