Kerberos configuration file

[Thomas A. La Porte]

There is an Oracle configuration option that goes into sqlnet.ora 
that determines whether or not you are using a new MIT-style 
krb5.conf file:

SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF_MIT = TRUE

>From the Oracle documentation:

Parameter:

SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF_MIT=[TRUE|FALSE]

Description:

This parameter specifies whether the new MIT Kerberos 
configuration format is used. If the value is set to TRUE, it 
will parse the file according to the new configuration format 
rules. When the value is set to FALSE, the default (non-MIT) 
configuration is used. The default is FALSE.

This may be the problem that you are experiencing.
