OAG Authentication Repository Digest Password Digestion Fails in Database Repository (Doc ID 2004777.1)

Last updated on JULY 21, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle API Gateway - Version 11.1.2.2.0 to 11.1.2.2.0 [Release 11gR1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Oracle API Gateway (OAG) 11.1.2.2.0 + patch 19459659 (OAG bundle patch 11.1.2.2.2).

An HTTP Basic filter is configured to use a database repository for authentication with "Hash client password" checked.
This works in 11.1.2.2.0 without patch 19459659.

In 11.1.2.2.0 + patch 19459659, this fails because the hash algorithms are not being used.

Example error message:
