After the OVD 11g Server Certificate Expires (OVD Log Error: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate), An LDAP User is Still Able to Successfully Log Into the EUS Database (Doc ID 2124639.1)

Last updated on JUNE 06, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Virtual Directory - Version 11.1.1.0 to 11.1.1.9.0
Advanced Networking Option - Version 11.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) 11g.

After the OVD Server certificate expired as per OVD log error example below, an LDAP user is still able to login successfully to a Database (DB) via Enterprise User Security (EUS) integration.

Should not the database have caught the expiring OVD certificate and failed the EUS DB login as well?

Example OVD diagnostic.log:
