Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) Failed To Perform Secure LDAP Authentication / Errors: Remote Server Failure / Cannot start Oracle Virtual Directory server: Cannot recover key. (Doc ID 1347972.1)

Last updated on MARCH 06, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Virtual Directory - Version 11.1.1.5.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

After upgrading Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) from Version 10.1.4.3 to 11.1.1.5.0, Secure LDAP authentication fails. When performing secure LDAP authentication, the OVD Server fails to respond and the following error is seen in the OVD log, for example:

Remote Server Failure:<HOSTNAME>:<SSL_PORT>

Further checks at the backend, i.e., DSEE Server, confirms that it is listening on port  <SSL_PORT> without any problems.

The following messages are reported in the OVD diagnostics.log file:
