Last updated on JUNE 16, 2022

Applies to:

Advanced Networking Option - Version 10.2.0.1 and later

Information in this document applies to any platform.
Advanced Networking Option - Version: 10.2.0.1.0 to 12.2.0.1
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

After configuring password credentials for connecting to databases stored in a client-side Oracle wallet using mkstore, extproc programs start to fail as follows:

set serveroutput on;
begin
dbms_output.put_line(test_proc(0));
end;

ORA-28578: protocol error during callback from an external procedure
ORA-06512: at "<test_procedure>", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 2

You may also find the extproc process is just hanging, if you dump a call stack using a debugger like gdb you will see:

Changes

You configured the Secure External Password Store using mkstore and set associated parameter SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = TRUE in the server side sqlnet.ora parameter. You also are using the external procedure callout agent (extproc) to run routines from C libraries from Pl/Sql.
