Load SSH Keys Into Memory Before Starting DBCA

Load SSH keys into memory for the terminal session where you start Oracle DBCA, to avoid user equivalency errors while starting Oracle DBCA.

If you use a pass phrase on your system for SSH, then you must provide the pass phrase to load the SSH keys.
  1. Use the following commands to load SSH keys:
    $ exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SHELL
$ /usr/bin/ssh-add

    If needed, provide the pass phrase when prompted. You can then start Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Oracle DBCA).
