TNS-01100 TNS returned error number when attempting to start the listener

Cause: The bequeath (BEQ) mechanism that LSNRCTL uses to start the listener failed.

Action: Check to ensure that the BEQ driver is installed. If it is not, then the NSERROR code returned will be 12538 (NSENODRIVER). To fix this, reinstall SQL*Net V2 and make sure that the BEQ driver is selected when it is installed. If this is not the problem then the error is probably caused by the fact that the TNSLSNR executable cannot be found in the place expected in your platform's Oracle environment. Verify that the full path name of the TNSLSNR executable as displayed by LSNRCTL is correct.

TNS-01101 Could not find service name string

Cause: The service name could not be resolved by name-lookup.

Action: Verify that the listener name or service name specified to LSNRCTL has the correct name and address defined in LISTENER.ORA or in TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-01102 TNS application contacted was not the listener

Cause: Another TNS application such as the Interchange was listening at the address contacted. There may be another TNS application listening at the address contacted and the data returned is not in the appropriate format.

Action: Verify that the listener name or service name specified to LSNRCTL has the correct name and address defined in LISTENER.ORA or in TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-01103 Protocol specific component of the address is incorrectly specified

Cause: The ADDRESS used to contact the listener is not correctly specified. This error occurs because the address fails to specify the destination of the listener. The address is well formed (for example, there are no missing parentheses) but it is missing a protocol specific component. For example, this is the error returned when the HOST component is missing from a TCP/IP address string.

Action: Edit the ADDRESS in LISTENER.ORA to include the required protocol-specific keywords. For more information about the keywords required by different protocol adapters, see the Oracle operating system specific-documentation for your platform.

TNS-01106 Listener using listener name string has already been started

Cause: Another listener is already listening on one of the ADDRESSes specified.

Action: Shut down the previous listener specified by the listener name before starting this one.

TNS-01107 A valid trace level was not specified

Cause: Failed to specify a valid trace level for the LSNRCTL trace command.

Action: Specify one of OFF, USER, or ADMIN. Type "LSNRCTL help trace" for more information.

TNS-01108 Listener password prompt failed

Cause: Password not entered via TTY.

Action: Enter the listener password on a TTY device.

TNS-01109 Listener password encryption failed

Cause: Possibly garbled password entered.

Action: Re-enter the listener password, using valid ASCII characters. If problem persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01110 Mismatch - password unchanged

Cause: New password and re-entered new password are different.

Action: Re-enter the listener password, make sure that New password and re-entered new password are the same.

TNS-01111 Log status can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a log status value for the LSNRCTL log_status command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set log_status" for more information.

TNS-01112 Plug and play can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a valid value for the LSNRCTL use_plugandplay command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set use_plugandplay" for more information.

TNS-01113 save_config_on_stop can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a valid value for the LSNRCTL save_config_on_stop command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set save_config_on_stop" for more information.

TNS-01150 The address of the specified listener name is incorrect

Cause: The address on which the listener attempted to listen contains a syntax error.

Action: For the listener name or service name specified to LSNRCTL, check that the address or connect descriptor is well-formed. You can find the listener name in LISTENER.ORA, or you can access the listener through the service name is TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-01151 Missing listener name, string, in LISTENER.ORA

Cause: The listener could not find the listener name specified.

Action: Make sure valid addresses on which to listen are specified for the listener name in LISTENER.ORA.

TNS-01152 All addresses specified for the listener name, string, failed

Cause: The listener failed to listen on any of the specified addresses.

Action: Make sure that another application is not listening on the addresses specified or check that the appropriate protocol adapters are installed. Turn on tracing and execute again for more information.

TNS-01154 SID detected in old format that is no longer supported

Cause: One of the SIDs was specified in an obsolete format.

Action: Check LISTENER.ORA for a line of the form:

sid = (SID=(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)) 

or

sid = (SID_DESC=(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)) 

The above format is no longer supported and SID_LIST_listener_name format described in the Net8 Administrator's Guide should be used. For example:

SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(ORACLE_
HOME=oracle_home)))

TNS-01155 Incorrectly specified SID_LIST_string parameter in LISTENER.ORA

Cause: SID_LIST_listener_name in LISTENER.ORA has an error in it.

Action: Be sure this parameter is specified as described in the Net8 Administrator's Guide. For example:

SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(ORACLE_
HOME=oracle_home)))

TNS-01156 Missing or inappropriate PROTOCOL, TIMEOUT or POOL_SIZE parameter from PRESPAWN_DESC

Cause: PRESPAWN_DESC in each SID_DESC does not have required fields.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example:

SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(PRESPAWN_
MAX=5)(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_
SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30)))) 

Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file.

TNS-01157 Can only listen on number addresses - ignoring string

Cause: Too many addresses were given to listen on.

Action: Reduce the number of addresses to listen on and use another listener to listen on the remaining addresses.

TNS-01158 Internal connection limit reached, preventing dispatcher from connecting

Cause: The internal SQL*Net connection list is full. Too many dispatchers are connected to the listener; therefore, no more dispatchers are allowed to connect.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01159 Internal connection limit has been reached; listener has shut down

Cause: The internal SQL*Net connection list is full. The listener is configured to use too many SQL*Net connections.

Action: Reduce the number of listen addresses or services connected to the listener. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01167 The command string is not supported by the listener contacted

Cause: The listener does not recognize the command.

Action: This is caused when a newer version of LSNRCTL contacts an old listener. Upgrade listener if executing this command is important.

TNS-01168 Cannot allocate memory

Cause: Sufficient memory could not be allocated to perform the desired activity.

Action: Either free some resource for TNS, or add more memory to the machine. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation.

TNS-01169 The listener has not recognized the password

Cause: The security feature of the listener is preventing the intended operation.

Action: Some commands like stopping the listener are only intended to be done by database administrators. A client can only use LSNRCTL to get the status of a listener and the version of the listener software running. The command that the client attempted may not have been appropriate. If a database administrator is attempting the command then use the "set password" command at the LSNRCTL prompt with one of the appropriate passwords in the PASSWORDS_listener_name entry in LISTENER.ORA. If you do not know a password then you are trying to execute an inappropriate command.

TNS-01170 Event detection broke for address: string

Cause: The event detection mechanism for the address specified returned an error.

Action: Future attempts to detect events on this address will fail. The listener will deallocate the listen address and connections will no long be accepted for this address. This message is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01171 Event detection broke for dispatcher: string

Cause: The event detection mechanism for the dispatcher specified returned an error.

Action: Future attempts to detect events on this dispatcher will fail. The listener will deallocate the dispatcher and connections will no long be redirected to this dispatcher. This message is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01172 Listener has shut down since all listen addresses have been deallocated

Cause: The event detection mechanism broke and caused all listen addresses to be removed.

Action: Error 1170 has occurred and caused all the listen addresses to be deallocated. Since all the listen addresses have been removed, no more connections can be established to this listener so it shuts itself down. This message is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01173 Missing or inappropriate PRESPAWN_MAX parameter from SID_DESC

Cause: PRESPAWN_MAX in each SID_DESC does not have required fields.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example:

SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(PRESPAWN_
MAX=15)(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_
SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30))))

Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file.

TNS-01174 The sum of the POOL_SIZEs from each PRESPAWN_DESC is greater than the PRESPAWN_MAX

Cause: The minimum value for PRESPAWN_MAX should be the sum of the POOL_SIZEs.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example:

SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(PRESPAWN_
MAX=15)(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_
SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30))(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(POOL_
SIZE=5)(TIMEOUT=15)))) 

Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file.

TNS-01175 Password unchanged

Cause: Unable to set the new password.

Action: Be sure to see that the new password has legal ASCII characters. Try to set the password again.

TNS-01176 Error in loading the new parameter value

Cause: Illegal values given for the parameters.

Action: Make sure that the parameter values are valid refer to the manual for the legal values for parameters.

TNS-01177 Log Status is OFF. Log file/directory unchanged

Cause: Log status needs to be set ON for changing the log file.

Action: Use the command set log_status ON to set the log status of the listener ON.

TNS-01178 Trace Level is 0. Trace file/directory unchanged

Cause: Trace Level needs to be set for changing the trace file/directory.

Action: Use the command set trc_level ON to set the trace level.

TNS-01179 Listener cannot load instance class "string"

Cause: Instance tried to register as a class unknown to listener.

Action: Check LISTENER.ORA and/or instance configuration, and reference platform documentation to find the instance classes available for the listener on this platform.

TNS-01180 Missing listener object string in Directory Server

Cause: The listener could not find the listener object specified.

Action: Make sure the listener object is present in the Directory Server.

TNS-01200 The listener must be suid root

Cause: The ownership privileges of the TNSLSNR executable are incorrect.

Action: Contact your database administrator or system administrator to change the ownership of the file to be SUID root and restart the listener. This action is necessary because the user that started the process should claim ownership.

TNS-01201 Listener cannot find executable string for SID string

Cause: The executable for the Oracle dedicated server process cannot be found.

Action: Check the appropriate SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA to make sure that the ORACLE_HOME component is pointing to a valid location. If this component is not set, then check the value of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.

TNS-01202 Missing the dba group (string) specified by DBA_GROUP in SID_DESC

Cause: The dba group specified is missing from /etc/group.

Action: Check the DBA_GROUP parameter in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA and verify it has a valid entry in /etc/group.

TNS-01203 Missing the account (string) specified by DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT in SID_DESC

Cause: The unprivileged operating system account is missing from /etc/passwd.

Action: Check the DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT parameter in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA and verify it has a valid entry in /etc/passwd. This is the account that the Oracle shadow process will be started with if the connecting client has database privileges or does not exist on this machine.

TNS-01204 Unprivileged account (string) is in dba group (string)

Cause: The unprivileged account has DBA privileges. The unprivileged account specified by DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA is a member of the dba group specified by DBA_GROUP in SID_DESC. The unprivileged account cannot belong to the dba group because this would be a security violation with OPS$ logins.

Action: Remove the unprivileged account from the dba group.

Cause: GBNAME or domain name too long.

Action: Check the GBNAME parameter in LISTENER.ORA, shorten it.

TNS-02402 Bad CLBGNAMES parameter in tnsnames.ora

Cause: CLBGNAMES parameter in TNSNAMES.ORA is bad.

Action: Check the CLBGNAMES parameter format and correct it. Make sure that the TNSNAMES.ORA file is there.

TNS-02403 Bad alias string or alias not present in tnsnames.ora

Cause: An alias was expected in TNSNAMES.ORA but was not found or was not correctly formed.

Action: Check the TNSNAMES.ORA for the alias and make sure it is correctly formed.

TNS-02404 Service string contains no local handlers

Cause: The listener found no suitable handler to redirect to.

Action: Make sure that there is at least one handler for this node.

TNS-02405 GMS call failed, check GMS logs.

Cause: A GMS call made by the listener failed.

Action: Check if the GMS is up and running. See GMS-client trace files for more information.

TNS-02501 Authentication: no more roles

Cause: When a process attempted to retrieve a role from the authentication service, no more were available.

Action: No action required. This error is used internally and occurs in the normal course of events.

TNS-02502 Authentication: unable to find initialization function

Cause: The native authentication service was unable to call the initialization function for the specified service because it does not exist.

Action: If this service adaptor came directly from Oracle, contact Oracle Customer Support, as this error should never happen. Otherwise, add an initialization function for the service being used.

TNS-02503 Parameter retrieval failed

Cause: The native service layer was unable to retrieve a parameter from a configuration file.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02504 Parameter count retrieval failed

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02505 Authentication: null context pointer provided

Cause: The function NAU_INI() was passed a null pointer as the pointer to the context that it is supposed to use.

Action: Call NAU_INI() with a pointer to a context structure.

TNS-02506 Authentication: no type string

Cause: An authentication context structure does not contain a string that describes the authentication service being used.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02507 Encryption: algorithm not installed

Cause: After picking an algorithm, the server was unable to find an index for it in its table of algorithms. This should be impossible because the algorithm was chosen (indirectly) from that list. This message is not normally visible to the user.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02508 Encryption: server negotiation response in error

Cause: The server's response in negotiation was in error. This message is not normally visible to the user.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02509 Authentication: invalid process state

Cause: The state in which a process is running does not correspond to any of the values which are valid.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02510 Invalid numeric data type

Cause: The type of a piece of numeric data that was received does not correspond to one of the valid values.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02511 Invalid data type

Cause: The type of a piece of data that was received or to be transmitted did not correspond to any of the correct values.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02512 Invalid status received

Cause: A process received a value as a status flag which was unknown.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02513 Requested data type does not match retrieved type

Cause: A service requested data whose type does not match that of the segment which was sent from the other process.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02514 Invalid packet received

Cause: A process received a data packet which was not meant for the native services layer.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02515 Encryption/crypto-checksumming: unknown control type

Cause: An encryption or crypto-checksumming algorithm "control" function was called, but did not recognize the "type" argument it was given. This message is not normally visible to the user.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02516 No data available

Cause: A native service attempted to retrieve data but no data was available to be received.

Action: The error is not normally visible as it usually is only used to signal the end of a data stream. If the error becomes visible, enable tracing to reproduce the problem and contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02517 key smaller than requested size

Cause: The key returned by negotiation was smaller than the size requested by some service (either encryption or crypto-checksumming).

Action: The error is not normally visible. If the error persists, enable tracing to reproduce the problem and contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02518 key negotiation error

Cause: An error occurred while the two sides of the connection were negotiating an encryption or crypto-checksumming key.

Action: The error is not normally visible. Enable tracing to reproduce the problem and contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02520 encryption/crypto-checksumming: no Diffie-Hellman seed

Cause: The sqlnet.crypto_seed parameter is missing from the SQLNET.ORA parameters file for SQL*Net.

Action: Add this line to SQLNET.ORA:

sqlnet.crypto_seed = "randomly-chosen text"

TNS-02521 encryption/crypto-checksumming: Diffie-Hellman seed too small

Cause: The sqlnet.crypto_seed parameter in the SQLNET.ORA parameter file for SQL*Net is too small.

Action: Add more randomly-chosen text to it.

TNS-02524 Authentication: privilege check failed

Cause: An error occurred when the SQL*Net authentication service attempted to verify that a user had a specific database privilege.

Action: This error should not happen normally. Enable tracing and attempt to repeat the error. Contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02525 encryption/crypto-checksumming: self test failed

Cause: The ANO encryption/crypto-checksumming service detected an error while running tests on the active encryption or checksumming algorithm.

TNS-03502 Insufficient arguments. Usage: tnsping address [count]

Cause: Some required command-line arguments are missing.

Action: Re-enter the command using the correct arguments.

TNS-03503 Could not initialize NL

Cause: The network library could not be initialized. This is an internal error which should not normally be visible.

Action: Ensure that memory is available to run the application and that there are no other operating system problems, and then attempt the command again.

TNS-03504 Service name too long

Cause: The service name you are attempting to ping is too long.

Action: Re-enter the command using the correct service name.

TNS-03505 Failed to resolve name

Cause: The service name you provided could not be found in TNSNAMES.ORA, an Oracle Names server, or a native naming service.

Action: Verify that you entered the service name correctly. You may need to ensure that the name was entered correctly into the network configuration.

TNS-03506 Failed to create address binding

Cause: The TNSPING utility found the requested address or service name, but received an internal error when trying to use it. This is an internal error which should not normally be visible.

Action: Ensure that memory is available to run the application and that there are no other operating system problems, and then attempt the command again.

TNS-03507 Failure looking for ADDRESS keyword

Cause: The TNS address did not contain an ADDRESS keyword.

Action: If you entered the TNS address on the command line, be sure that the syntax is correct. If you entered a service name on the command line, the address contains the wrong information. You should verify that the information was entered correctly.

TNS-03508 Failed to create address string

Cause: The TNSPING utility received an internal error when generating an address. This is an internal error which should not normally be visible.

Action: Ensure that memory is available to run the application and that there are no other operating system problems, and then attempt the command again.

Cause: The cryptographic checksum received with a packet of incoming data did not match the checksum computed by the receiving end. This indicates that the packet was tampered with or otherwise corrupted in transit.

Action: Look for sources of data corruption, perhaps including deliberate tampering.

TNS-12657 No algorithms installed

Cause: The near side of the connection required the use of a service (either encryption or checksumming) when no algorithms for that service were installed.

Action: Remove the "ON" requirement for that service.

TNS-12658 ANO service required but TNS version is incompatible

Cause: A client process that is running an earlier version of TNS attempted to connect but the connection failed because the server process required that an ANO service (authentication, encryption, and so on) be used.

Action: Relink the calling executable and retry the connection or eliminate the requirement that the service be used on the server side.

TNS-12659 Error received from other process

Cause: An error was received by one or more services from the process on the other side of the connection.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error(s). The error(s) is (are) not returned directly because an error generated by a server may not make sense on the client side and vice-versa.

TNS-12660 Encrytion or crypto-checksumming parameters incompatible

Cause: One side of the connection specified "REQUIRED" for encryption or crypto-checksumming, while the other side specified "REJECTED".

Action: Change the "REQUIRED" side to "REQUESTED" if the you want encryption or crypto-checksumming to be optional, or change the "REJECTED" side to "ACCEPTED" if you do not want the service to be optional.

TNS-12661 Protocol authentication to be used

Cause: The SQL*Net authentication service has determined that the SQL*Net transport protocol in use is to be utilized to authenticate a user's identity.

Action: This error is used solely to communicate information between the authentication service and the SQL*Net session layer and should not be visible to the user. If the error is seen, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12662 proxy ticket retrieval failed

Cause: The authentication adapter used by SQL*Net failed to retrieve the credentials needed to authenticate a database link.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12663 Services required by client not available on the server

Cause: Service(s) that was (were) required by the client process were not available on the server process.

Action: Configure the server with the services required by the client (best solution) or delete the requirement from the configuration file of the client (least secure).

TNS-12664 Services required by server not available on the client

Cause: Service(s) that was (were) required by the server process were not available on the client process.

Action: Configure the client with the services required by the server (best solution) or delete the requirement from the configuration file of the server (least secure).

TNS-12665 NLS string open failed

Cause: A native service was unable to make a string available for use by the National Language Support component.

Action: Make sure the National Language Support component has been properly. If it has, enable tracing and report the problem to Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12666 Dedicated server: outbound transport protocol different from inbound

Cause: The protocol specified for an externally-identified outbound connection from a dedicated server (database link) was not the same as that used for the inbound connection. It is not possible for SQL*Net to authenticate a proxy connection that uses a protocol that is different from that which was used for the connection to the dedicated server.

Action: Specify the same protocol in the SQL*Net connect string or alias for the outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection.

TNS-12667 Shared server: outbound transport protocol different from inbound

Cause: The protocol specified for an externally-identified outbound connection from a shared server (database link) was not the same as that used for the inbound connection. It is not possible for SQL*Net to authenticate a proxy connection that uses a protocol that is different from that which was used for the connection to the shared server.

Action: Specify the same protocol in the SQL*Net connect string or alias for the outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection.

TNS-12668 Dedicated server: outbound protocol does not support proxies

Cause: The protocol specified to perform an externally-identified proxy connection (database link) from a dedicated server does not support proxy connections.

Action: Specify a protocol in the SQL*Net connect string or alias used for the connection that does support externally-authenticated proxy connections. NOTE: Because of a limitation in SQL*Net, the protocol used for the proxy connection must the same as that used for the connection from the client to the server.

TNS-12669 Shared server: outbound protocol does not support proxies

Cause: The protocol specified to perform an externally-identified proxy connection (database link) from a shared server does not support proxy connections.

Action: Specify a protocol in the SQL*Net connect string or alias used for the connection that does support externally-authenticated proxy connections. NOTE: Because of a limitation in SQL*Net, the protocol used for the proxy connection must the same as that used for the connection from the client to the server.

TNS-12670 Incorrect role password

Cause: A password supplied for a role could not be validated by the authentication service.

Action: Supply the correct password.

TNS-12671 Shared server: adapter failed to save context

Cause: The adapter for the authentication service failed when it tried to save the data needed for proxy connections (database links) through the multi-threaded server.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error. Contact Oracle Customer Support if the reason is not obvious.

TNS-12672 Database logon failure

Cause: The authentication service adapter in use encountered an error it attempted to validate the logon attempt of a user.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error encountered by the adapter.

TNS-12673 Dedicated server: context not saved

Cause: A connection was marked as being a proxy connection (database link) from a dedicated server but no inbound context was present.

Action: This error should not normally be visible to the user. Contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12674 Shared server: proxy context not saved

Cause: A connection was marked as being a proxy connection (database link) from a shared server but no inbound context was present.

Action: This error should not normally be visible to the user. Contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12675 External user name not available yet

Cause: The authentication service in use was not able to return the external name of a user of the Oracle server because it is not available to the service yet.

Action: This is just an informational message and should not normally be visible to the user. If the error does appear, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12676 Server received internal error from client

Cause: The server process received an error from the client which indicated that an internal SQL*Net native services error had occurred.

Action: Enable tracing on both processes and attempt to re-create the problem. If the problem recurs, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12677 Authentication service not supported by database link

Cause: The authentication service used by the proxy process (database link) was unable to find the adapter being used by the client in its list of authentication mechanisms.

Action: Specify an authentication adapter that is shared by the client and the server being used for the database link.

TNS-12678 Authentication disabled but required

Cause: The configuration parameters that control whether SQL*Net authentication is disabled or required were both set to TRUE.

Action: Set one or both of the parameters to FALSE.

TNS-12679 Native services disabled by other process but required

Cause: The remote process has disabled native services but the local process requires them.

Action: Enable native services on the remote process or disable them locally.

TNS-12680 Native services disabled but required

Cause: The process has disabled native services but at least one service is required.

Action: Enable native services or change the configuration file so that none of the available services are required.

TNS-12681 Login failed: the SecurID card does not have a pincode yet

Cause: The SecurID card that is used to logon to Oracle, does not have a pin code assigned to it.

Action: Use one of the programs supplied by Security Dynamics to assign a pin code to the card.

TNS-12682 Login failed: the SecurID card is in next PRN mode

Cause: The SecurID card and the SecurID server are out of sync and the server requires the next card code to resynchronize the card.

Action: Use one of the programs supplied by Security Dynamics to resynchronize the SecurID card.

TNS-12683 encryption/crypto-checksumming: no Diffie-Hellman seed

Cause: The sqlnet.crypto_seed parameter is missing from the SQLNET.ORA parameters file for SQL*Net.

Action: Add this line to SQLNET.ORA:

sqlnet.crypto_seed = "randomly-chosen text"

TNS-12684 encryption/crypto-checksumming: Diffie-Hellman seed too small

Cause: The sqlnet.crypto_seed parameter in the SQLNET.ORA parameter file for SQL*Net is too small.

Action: Add more randomly-chosen text to it, perhaps using Network Manager.

TNS-12685 Native service required remotely but disabled locally

Cause: A native service is required by the remote process but native services have been disabled locally.

Action: Enable native services locally or change the configuration parameters on the remote host so that no native services are required.

TNS-12686 Invalid command specified for a service

Cause: An operation which does not exist was specified for a native service. This is a programming error and should not normally be visible to the user.

Action: Contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12687 Database link failed: credentials expired

Cause: The credentials that are used to authenticate the user for the requested database link have expired.

Action: Renew your credentials. Refer to the documentation specific for your Network Authentication Adapter on how to do this.

TNS-12688 Login failed: the SecurID server rejected the new pincode

Cause: There are a number of reasons why the SecurID server would refuse a pin code:

  • The user might not have permission to make up his own pin code.

  • The pin code was either too short or too long. Valid pin codes consist of minimal four, but no more than eight characters.

  • The pin code contains any non alpha-numeric characters.

Action: Re-execute the operation and make sure to use a pin code that satisfies the above requirements. If the problem persists, turn on tracing at the Oracle Server side of the connection and examine the trace file for the exact error.

TNS-12689 Server Authentication required, but not supported

Cause: Server Authentication is required for this connection, but not supported by both sides of the connection.

Action: Make sure both sides of the connection have the correct version of Advanced Networking Option, and that the Authentication Adapter supports Server Authentication.

TNS-12690 Server Authentication failed, login cancelled

Cause: Server Authentication is required, but the server's credentials were found invalid by the client.

Action: Make sure that the server has a valid set of credentials. Refer to your authentication adapter specific documentation on how to do this.

TNS-12696 Double Encryption Turned On, login disallowed

Cause: A Secure Protocol Adapter was used that has Encryption turned ON as well as ANO Encryption.

Action: Turn OFF either ANO Encryption or the Protocol Adapter Encryption if possible. Refer to the Oracle Advanced Security Administrator's Guide for information about how to do this.

TNS-12699 Native service internal error

Cause: An internal error occurred in the native services component.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error. Contact Oracle Customer Support.
