OAM configuration tool - OAMCFG-60015: Invalid value detected for oam_aaa_host or oam_aaa_port

We were using OAM configuration tool from our OHS install to create webgate id, and we faced following issue:

[oracle@dalgcmap02pl oracle]$ /opt/app/oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_24-R28.1.3-4.0.1/bin/java -jar /opt/app/oracle/fmw_home/oracle_common/modules/oracle.oamprovider_11.1.1/oamcfgtool.jar mode=CREATE app_domain="my_app_domain" protected_uris="$PROTECTED_URI_LIST" public_uris="$PUBLIC_URI_LIST" app_agent_password=mypassword ldap_host=myldaphost ldap_port=389 ldap_userdn="cn=orcladmin" ldap_userpassword=mypassword oam_aaa_host=myoamhost

We certainly verified that http://myoamhost:port/access/oblix that access server was created and 6021 port was correct as well. The only new thing we were trying was Simple vs Open authentication, but host and port for OAM were correct. Error was quite misleading. I think only hope was to decrypt the Java class to figure out where the error was coming from. Upon decrypting OAMCfgGlobalConfigHandler, found out that it was taking lot more parameters than mentioned in user guide.

Resolution

• We had to provide oam_aaa_mode=Simple in parameter list
