Troubleshooting Issues with Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Agent to OMS Communication Due to SSL Handshake Failure (Doc ID 2127656.1)

Last updated on JANUARY 10, 2024

Applies to:

Enterprise Manager Base Platform - Version 12.1.0.1.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

The Enterprise Manager (EM) 12c Cloud Control OMS and Agents are configured to run in secure mode (https) out-of-the -box. The EM Agent communicates and uploads to the OMS only after a successful SSL handshake between the OMS and Agent.
When the Agent sends a ping or upload request to the OMS, the OMS provides its certificate chain (user or server certificate, intermediate certificates, if any, and root certificate) to the Agent. The Agent confirms the trusted certificates of the OMS (intermediate certificates, if any, and Root certificate) are present in the trust store of Agent which is <AGENT INST HOME>/sysman/config/server/ewallet.p12 by default.

AN SSL handshake will be successful, and the Agent will be able to communicate with the OMS, only if the trusted certificates of the OMS (intermediate certificates if any and root certificate) are present in the Agent's trust store. The Agent must be secured successfully with the OMS, so that trusted certificates of the OMS are updated to the trust store of the Agent.

If the Agent fails to ping or upload to the OMS due to SSL Handshake failure, then the error below will be reported. This document provides the steps to collect diagnostic data and solve the issue with Agent to OMS communication due to SSL Handshake failure:
