Symptoms

Using redo_transport_user for redo transport connections.  

Switchover via DataGuard Broker in a multi-tenant Active DataGuard environment when REDO_TRANSPORT_USER is set to a user defined user, fails with ORA-01219
using password file authentication.   Although the roles are switched the former primary database, now the standby, is left mounted showing errors in alert and drc logs which looks like a password file problem ORA-1033.                                                  

Data Guard broker shows ORA-16665: timeout waiting for the result from a database

 

drc.log on the primary reports the following errors:
