2. Install the product on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2>.
3. Create the domain on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1>, Admin Server on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1>.
4. Create the managed server on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2>.
5. Run the pack command on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1>.
6. Move the jar to <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2> and run the unpack command.
7. Start the Admin Server on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1> - Running fine and able to login to console.

Changes

 On <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1> the US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar in the JDK/ jre/lib/security folder had been updated and these files had not been updated on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2>.

Then the cwallet.so was created using the above files on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1> when using the unpack command on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2> the cwallet.so file is unable to be decrypted using the US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar on that server.

The issue is due to the different US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar in the jre/lib/security folder on <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME1> and <WL_HOST_SERVERNAME2>.
