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..
kind: Secret
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
      {"apiVersion":"v1","data": ...
  creationTimestamp: "2024-08-20T15:10:23Z"
  name: pdb1-secret

[mmalvezz]

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
