Linux and UNIX systems: Finding the Kerberos configuration parameters for Oracle

For Oracle Kerberos, locate the Kerberos keytab and configuration file locations in sqlnet.ora.

1. Enter: grep –i KERBEROS $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
   Output is similar to:

   SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_KERBEROS5_SERVICE = oracle
   SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF = /home/oracle11/krb5/krb5.conf
   SQLNET.KERBEROS5_REALMS = /home/oracle11/krb5/krb.realms
   SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (BEQ,KERBEROS5)
   SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CLOCKSKEW = 600
   SQLNET.KERBEROS5_KEYTAB = /home/oracle11/krb5/keytab
   SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF_MIT = TRUE

2. To find the Kerberos cache parameter, enter: oklist|grep -i cache

   Output is similar to:

   Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_500
