Make sure that OCI.dll library path is set properly & it should be updated once

If you get Error as "ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol"

Solution

The solution to ORA-28040 in PL/SQL developer is to replace the old OCI with a newer one. First of all, you have to download an Oracle instant client which contains corresponding OCI library. The proper version should be at least 11g.

URL:https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html

Choose client as per your installed operating system as Windows & 32 bit.

Download below highlighted latest version OCI package & set path accordingly into your PL/SQL developer.


In our case, you downloaded and unzipped a basic package of Oracle instant client for windows 32-bit, the filename is instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.4.0.zip for instance.

Please make sure that at least Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Redistributable has been installed in your machine before using Oracle instant client 11.2.
