Hi, Jose, thank you for your answers.
Now, the problem dissappeared when I, for the fifth time, installed Gluu with the JCE option; I got used to not having it installed and, for some reason, it worked, until last friday when I attempted to set up a two node cluster of Gluu.
Apparently, without it, the oxauth library was no able to validate the key.
Another question would be, if for 3.0.2 version, you guys maybe apply patches, and, inadvertently, I yum installed some patch that uses JCE objects.
