EM Express Login – Get Flash

I have 12c setup on OEL 6.7 on  OVM and while trying to access EM express, I was receiving the error

Just for the notes, a user can log into EM Express using URL

https://<hostname>:<port>/em

and port details can be found using

lsnrctl status | grep HTTP
or  
select dbms_xdb_config.getHttpsPort() from dual;

Clicking on the “Get Flash” takes you to abode flash page from where you can download the rpm for flash.

[root@oel67-12c Downloads]# ls -lrt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7270732 May 30 11:43 flash-plugin-11.2.202.621-release.x86_64.rpm

[root@oel67-12c Downloads]# rpm -ivh flash-plugin-11.2.202.621-release.x86_64.rpm

After installing the rpm I still received the same error.So lets debug

[root@oel67-12c plugins]# ls -lrth

A zero byte file, something is wrong!!! I downloaded the .tar.gz version of the file from adobe and after untar

[root@oel67-12c Downloads]# ls -lrt

Hmmm, so the file is ~18MB. Lets copy the file to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ and change the permissions

[root@oel67-12c plugins]# cp -p /root/Downloads/libflashplayer.so .
[root@oel67-12c plugins]# ls -lrt

-rw-r--r--  1 1001 1001 19314752 Apr 26 20:10 libflashplayer.so
[root@oel67-12c plugins]# chown root:root libflashplayer.so
[root@oel67-12c plugins]# chmod 775 libflashplayer.so

And, now lets refresh the page and there you go !!!
