how did you create the secret ? please give us more details

[rbaumgar]

$ oc get secret pdb1-secret -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  sysadmin_pwd: xyz..
  sysadmin_user: xyz..
  webserver_pwd: xyz..
  webserver_user: xyz..

What it the value of xyx for sysadmin_user?

[rbaumgar]

base64 encryption for the sysadmin_user

[mmalvezz]

Be careful this is not encrypted ... it's encoded given that, please provide the decoded value . It looks like you are using a reserved word.

[rbaumgar]

sorry, typo: base64

[mmalvezz]

please verify the credential you have specified in the pdb secret ..... this is not an operator issue E.G. SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb1 ADMIN USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY chageme; CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb1 ADMIN USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY chageme * ERROR at line 1: ORA-65001: missing or invalid administrative user name
