Error: ora-12638 credential retrieval failed

Error: ora-12638 credential retrieval failed

If you try to connect Oracle from .NET code (in my case its Oracle XE
with VB.NET code) and if you are getting error "ora-12638 credential retrieval failed"
then try following to resolve this issue.

Open sqlnet.ora file and change the following entry

Existing Entry - SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

Modified Entry - SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
