8i slow connection

[jeff]

Using the latest 8i, connecting to the database takes as much as 30 seconds. This is not just with DOA but also with SQL Plus.
Has anyone else had this experience? We think it has to do with the latest Java support added to 8i.

Hi Jeff,

I haven't seen anything like that using 8.1.6 or 8.1.7. You might want to make sure that NDS or some such isn't causing the problem. Also you might want to check out your authentication setting (in sqlnet.ora) You might want SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) or
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

Hope that helps!

Thanks, commenting out the following:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

fixed the problem.
