Cause

An attempt was made to switch over the PKCS#11 library and there was a problem finding or loading the new library.


Action

Ensure that the:

  • PKCS11_LIBRARY_LOCATION parameter is set when the database is started.
  • Value of the PKCS11_LIBRARY_LOCATION parameter begins with /opt/oracle/extapi/64/pkcs11/.
  • Path in the fully qualified library name of the PKCS11_LIBRARY_LOCATION parameter does not contain any component which is a symbolic link.
  • Each directory component of the path is owned by the root user and is writable by only the root user (for example, drwxr-xr-x root root).
