IssueError: "Access Denied, Syntax Error" when authenticating with Oracle SQL RADIUS client using Advanced Security Option and shared secrets over 16 characters
Error: "Access Denied, Syntax Error"
Shared secret / encryption key is longer than 16 characters as documented in the Partner Advanced Security Option Implementation Guide

ResolutionTo correct this issue, shorten the shared secret and encryption key to 16 or less characters.
