Tried:

OVD 11g Suddenly Fails To Start. Diagnostic.log Shows Message: "Cannot start Oracle Virtual Directory server: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect." (Doc ID 1166157.1)

However it does not help. In the listeners.os_xml file, the "password" field for keys.jks is empty. Backing up and manually editing it with the correct password, then restarting the instance, does not encrypt the password, but keeps it as blank.

Changes

OVD Server was manually moved to a new host.
