Integrate Oracle BPEL (10.1.3.4) with OID (10.1.4.2)

When I tried to change the security provider in the AS console the following error occured in the browser:

Error
 
An error occurred while attempting to change the Oracle Internet Directory associated with this instance. Please ensure that the OID instance is indeed up and that the connect information provided is correct before retrying.
Error invoking method: associateOC4JWithOID on MBean: oc4j:j2eeType=Security,name=SecurityProvider,J2EEApplication=default,J2EEServer=standalone
Error invoking method: associateOC4JWithOID on MBean: oc4j:j2eeType=Security,name=SecurityProvider,J2EEApplication=default,J2EEServer=standalone

I ignored this error and continued with the configuration described in http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28982/service_config.htm#BABIBGFF with the chapter: 2.1.3.2 Task 2: Perform Configuration Procedures.

Error during executing of configure_oid.sh

To find the real reason for this problem you can create an new oc4j container put the logging on FINEST and try to change the security provider.

In the container logging in $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/default_group~[CONTAINER_NAME]~default_group~1.log the following error:

Than I realised that I changed the password policy in the Oracle Internet Directory. This was the reason for the problem. My policy was that the password should be 8 characters long instead of 5.

When I changed this back to the default policy everything worked ok!
