Identity server: Error: bind :Address already in use
Problem Description: The environment has OAS and Oracle Access Manager Products installed in same node. OIS service not coming up using ‘oracle’ user and its throwing some error. The Error is
Identity server: Error: bind: Address already in use
Cause: OIS service is started by root user instead of oracle user. OIS port is used by root user, and unable to bind the same port for oracle user.
Workaround summary,
1. Login as root user.
2. Stop the OIS service or kill the (ois_server) process manually since the pid, pid_watchdog process are catch hold by root user.
3. Login into oracle user and issue the command start_ois_sever
4. Now OIS service came smoothly.
Note : Don’t use root user for managing the OAM Servers. Please use its assigned or dedicated user account [oracle] for starting & stopping the servers.
