Hi, where to change this "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)"?

I am having the same issue.  

I made the change to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE) but this didn't help.

 

Any other ideas?

Thx for your interest, @TeigeGao 

 

I use the last version of ODAC, 12c (12.2.0.1).

I try with 32 and 64 bits versions.
