Symptoms

Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Access Gate initialization in simple mode takes 2-3 minutes for completion. This delay is noticed only in OAM simple mode while generating certificate and 1024 bit RSA private key. When no config cache exists, OAM initialization generatea a new SSL certificate, and private key generation leads to delay.

Impact

User experiences unnecessary delay.

Conditions

OAM set to simple mode.

Workaround

Total impact of delay can be reduced by resetting the environment variable OAM_WEBGATE_INIT_RETRY_COUNT to a lower value in /etc/bigstart/scripts/eam. OAM_WEBGATE_INIT_RETRY_COUNT variable determines the number of retry attempts made when an accessgate initialization fails.

Fix Information

None
