Weblogic Startup Fails with Error JPS-03027: PDPService service instance failed during initialization due to lack of grant


Error:

Admin Server Startup Fails with 

The server startup fails with the following error

weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: The loading of OPSS java security policy provider failed due to exception, see the exception stack trace or the server log file for root cause. If still see no obvious cause, enable the debug flag -Djava.security.debug=jpspolicy to get more information. Error message: JPS-03027: PDPService service instance failed during initialization due to lack of grant. If you are seeing this error after a new installation, make sure you have updated weblogic.policy as installation step suggested
at weblogic.security.service.CommonSecurityServiceManagerDelegateImpl.loadOPSSPolicy(CommonSecurityServiceManagerDelegateImpl.java:1402)
at weblogic.security.service.CommonSecurityServiceManagerDelegateImpl.initialize(CommonSecurityServiceManagerDelegateImpl.java:1022)

Caused By: oracle.security.jps.JpsRuntimeException: JPS-03027: PDPService service instance failed during initialization due to lack of grant. If you are seeing this error after a new installation, make sure you have updated weblogic.policy as installation step suggested
at oracle.security.jps.internal.policystore.PolicyUtil.getDefaultPDPService(PolicyUtil.java:2978)
at oracle.security.jps.internal.policystore.PolicyUtil.getPDPService(PolicyUtil.java:3226)



Reason:

To determine the root cause, start Weblogic with the following debug flags

startWeblogic.sh -Djava.security.debug=policy -Doracle.security.jps.util.JpsAuth=true

This showed the details on missing grants

 

policy: evaluate codesources:
Policy CodeSource: (file:<JAVA_HOME>/jdk/jre/lib/ext/* )
Active CodeSource: (file:<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar )
policy: evaluation (codesource) failed


Solution:

Add the following grant in the weblogic.policy file

grant codeBase "file:<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

 

1. Take a backup of the file <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.policy
Go to the last "grant codeBase" entry in the file and insert the following
             grant codeBase "file:<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar" {
               permission java.security.AllPermission;
             };

             Note: The file path depends on the installation. Please make sure that you give the same path shown in the debug log

2. Restart the Server

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool Oracle WebLogic Deploy Tool (WDT) is an open-source project designed to simplify and streamline the management of Oracle WebLogic Server domains. With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...
