If the client version of the client can be upgraded, the problem will be solved. But since there are many different clients, you can follow these steps for a permanent solution.

Add the following lines to the sqlnet.ora file under the current TNS_ADMIN directory for the grid and database home. If this file is not present on the database side, it needs to be created.

The TNS_ADMIN directory is generally as follows.

$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/network/admin
