Authentication Using an Oracle Encrypted Password Locks Out Users (86447, 115554)

Symptom:

The Oracle encrypted password feature is causing users to become locked out of the Oracle database. If the user enters an invalid password that user is not authenticated; however, the Policy Server tries to connect with this user repeatedly. This eventually locks the user out after 5 failed authentication attempts.

Solution:

This is no longer an issue. If an invalid password is specified, the user is not authenticated but not locked out.
