ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service. Cause: Unable to access LDAP directory service. Action: Please contact your system administrator.
There are many reasons for causing this error when you are trying to login to the database with your oracle internet directory (OID) authentication. The error sample is shown as below:Here how I usually troubleshoot this kind of issue. Two examples. First of all, you need to enable the trace to dump the actual errors in the database:SQL> conn howie@dbtest Enter password: ERROR: ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
Sencond, regenerate the error:SQL> alter system set events '28033 trace name context forever, level 9';
Third, disable the trace:SQL> conn howie@dbtest Enter password: ERROR: ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service
After checking the trace files, I found errors. This is related to the OID server lnx-ldap DNS configuration. Check /etc/hosts or DNS to make sure the OID server lnx-ldap or the port 3131 is reachable.SQL> alter system set events '28033 trace name context off';
Or you may see the error like this, this is because the wallet files were corrupted, you need to recreate the wallet, and make sure the wallet path is defined properly:KZLD_ERR: failed to open connection to lnx-ldap:3131 KZLD_ERR: 28030 KZLD_ERR: failed from kzldob_open_bind.
There are many possibilities to throw out ORA-28030, in this blog I am just simply giving you the hints for identifying the root cause. Hope it helps!
