KB-8005: Centrify Privileged Service cannot connect to Oracle database when FIPS is enabled

Centrify Privilege Service ,  

20 December,16 at 09:23 AM

Applies to: Centrify Privilege Service

Problem:
If a cloud connector has FIPS algorithm policy enabled, administrators will not be able to add Oracle databases into CPS with an error message "Verification failed. Bad credentials." shown.
Verification failed. Bad credentials.

Cause:
With ODP.NET version older than 12.1.0.2 or 11.2.0.4, If the cloud connector has FIPS algorithm policy enabled, the Oracle managed driver plugin will fail to work.

Workaround:
Disable the FIPS algorithm policy on the machine. To disable FIPS algorithm policy on the machine, use regedit to set the following registry value.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy] "Enabled"=dword:00000000

Resolution:
The issue was resolved with ODP.NET 12.1.0.2 and patched on 11.2.0.4, which you can upgrade as part of the Oracle 12.1.0.2 and 11.2.0.4 patchset or as part of ODAC 12c R3. And on the server side, version 12.1.0.2 or higher is a must.
