Using Oracle 12c in Lucee – ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol

Disclaimer: I don’t use Oracle, ever, and this was just to get a local testing environment setup.

I’d installed Oracle 12c, and when trying to add a datasource in the Lucee admin, kept on getting “ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol”.

According to StackOverflow there’s a bug, where’s the simple fix is to add the line:

SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION=8

To

C:\app\Oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
