Symptom
A parameter error is returned for connection creation, deletion, or modification in client ODC.
The following error message is returned:
Not a valid secret key
Possible causes
ODC V2.4.1 and later versions have introduced password encryption algorithms for secure password storage. Earlier versions of Java implement export restrictions on high-strength encryption algorithms, such as AES256, and report the following error for AES256:
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size or default parameters
Affected versions
Client ODC versions without JRE in the installation package
Solutions
Solution 1: Upgrade ODC
Installation packages of client ODC V3.2.0 and later versions contain the JRE installation package (including JRE for macOS and for Windows 64-bit). We recommend that you upgrade client ODC to V3.2.0 or later.
Solution 2: Upgrade Java
Upgrade Java to 1.8.0_200 or later.
