N8n-nodes-oracle-database-parameterization auth protocol error

I have n8n running in one docker container and 23cfree db in another. Connection to DB from host (VScode) works, but in n8n node im getting an error:
ORA-28041: authentication protocol internal error
2025-09-19 18:35:57 Help: https://docs.oracle.com/error-help/db/ora-28041/
I tried with reseting password to strong one (no success).
I tried also adding lines in sqlnet.ora (no success)
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=12
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=12

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem in node ‘Oracle Database‘

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version:*1.106.3 (Self Hosted)

  • Database (default: SQLite):

  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):

  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): docker

  • Operating system: linux

I think

  • Upgrade oracledb driver
  • Upgrade Oracle Instant Client in the n8n cont

I have 6.9.0 node-oracledb and latest version of instantclient_23_9 in n8n cont.

I removed oracledb from node_modules and installed again, it works…
