Issue
Customers in some countries using a remote database may be legally required to encrypt the traffic between client and server.  This is enabled in Oracle by setting the parameter:
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = required
in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file on the database server

However, SQLNET encryption is not supported in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.0 and the application may fail with the following stack trace seen in aveksaServer.log

Cause
This is because Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.0 uses ojdbc7 which does not support an encrypted connection.
Resolution
To resolve this issue upgrade to Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.1  It uses ojdbc8 which does support an encrypted connection.
Workaround
Don't use SQLNET encryption

In $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora set the following parameter:

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = accepted
