OAM 11.1.1.3 security error codes

Oracle Access Manager returns a distinct set of error codes for various types of deployment. Types include SECURE, INTERNAL, EXTERNAL and OSSO10g. Most environments use EXTERNAL mode for their deployment. The error codes and their message can retrieved via the ResourceBundle as shown below:

ResourceBundle msgBundle  = ResourceBundle.getBundle(defaultResourceBundle, myLocale);

  final String defaultErrorCode = "DEFAULT_ERR_MESSAGE";
  String simpleMessage = msgBundle.getString(defaultErrorCode);
  // if redirection due to error happened
  String errCode = request.getParameter(GenericConstants.ERROR_CODE);
  if(errCode != null) {
    try {
      simpleMessage = msgBundle.getString(errCode);
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      //ignore. simpleMessage will be set to the default
    }
  }

Overall Error codes and their messages are described below for convenience. Detailed information can be found in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Manager with Oracle Security Token Service document. These codes can be used for customizing messages instead of using the messages from resourcebundle implementation.
