Symptoms

On : 12.1.0.2.0 version, Thin JDBC driver


JDBC client is unable to connect to 12c database on SSL port. An external user identified by cert values is created and given create session privilege is created (database server configuration as described in <Document:1190873.1> How To Setup The Database And The Client To Have SSL Mutual Authentication With An Oracle Jdbc Thin Client And The Database). However, when the client tries to connect, the following error is raised:

Tnsping to SSL from server works fine.
TCP connections also work successfully.


At the time of the application exception, the listener.log shows the following errors:

TNS-12537: TNS:connection closed
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
 TNS-00507: Connection closed
  IBM/AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 55: Operation now in progress
TNS-12561: TNS:unknown error

and the database alert.log shows:

   ns secondary err code: 0
   nt main err code: 0
   nt secondary err code: 0
   nt OS err code: 0
