Oracle DB engine setup errors

Vault
1

Hi, am new to Vault and trying to setup DB secrets engine with Oracle plugin. But noticing the below error, searched on google but couldn’t find much. Hoping to find useful info here, before raising a case with hashicorp.

[user@server plugin_directory]$ vault plugin register -sha256="4b2034feb30fec6420db53bb02c6bf860a0c8ba825f141df36e2fa20ed897f7f" database vault-plugin-database-oracle
Success! Registered plugin: vault-plugin-database-oracle


[user@server plugin_directory]$ vault write database/config/DBServer plugin_name=vault-plugin-database-oracle connection_url="{{username}}/{{password}}@DBHost:1521/OraDoc.localhost" allowed_roles="vault-role" username="dbuser" password="dbpwd"
Error writing data to database/config/DBServer: Error making API request.

URL: PUT https://dcev-vault:9200/v1/database/config/DBServer
Code: 400. Errors:

* error creating database object: invalid database version: 2 errors occurred:
        * checksums did not match
        * checksums did not match

We are on Vault v1.10, and using the latest 0.7.0 Oracle DB plugin. And ensured the SHA used in the above vault write command matches with the downloaded SHA value from oracle plugin v0.7.0

Did you ever get this error resolved. I am coming across the same issue.
Thanks

Yes, we were able to resolve it. The sha256 key can be downloaded from the directory where the plugin is downloaded from.

$ vault plugin register -sha256= "b17856c5465dd687f2b1805ec3b7b18facaffd82073ba05bb12120b965a3285d" database vault-plugin-database-oracle

Once done, I had to export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the location where instantclient was downloaded to.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/vault/plugin/instantclient_21_8`

Restart Vault and then you should be good to proceed with next steps.
