Set Up a Windows 2000 Domain Controller to Interoperate with Oracle Client

The following tasks must be performed on the Windows 2000 domain controller:

  1. Create the Oracle Database Principal in Microsoft Active Directory

    This creates a new user for the database in Microsoft Active Directory.

  2. Use the ktpass command-line utility to create a kerberos keytab file

    The ktpass utility is a part of the Windows 2000 Support Tools. The keytab file is required to use a Windows 2000 domain controller as a KDC.

  3. Copy the keytab file created in the previous step to the computer on which the database server is installed
