Error - Oracle: ORA-12154: TNS

Am unable to connect to the Oracle Database.  The error is - "Oracle: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".  Can anybody offer a solution.  Thanks

I was getting this as well, the solution for me was in the Server field to enter <server name>:<port>/<service name>.  Then in the authentication window, select Database and enter the username and pasword.

    The <> just means that it is a variable specific to your instance, do not use the <>.
