Configuring maximum protection mode in dataguard with oracle 10g

Question

Dear All,
I am facing a big problem in my configuration for oracle dataguard in maximum protection mode. as per oracle documentation i have done the following.
on the primary database i configured the floowing parameter.
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=CDER LGWR SYNC AFFIRM
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=CDER'
on the standby i configured the following parameters.
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=REDC LGWR SYNC AFFIRM
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=REDC'
i created standby redo logs on the standby database as per documentation.
I shut down the primary database and started it in mount stage and i executed the following commands.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY DATABASE TO MAXIMIZE PROTECTION
after database was sucessfully alterd, i execute it the following command to open the database.
SQL > ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
what is happening is that i am recieving the Error end of communication channel and also after i look at the log file the following error is in place

though when i reset the dataguard to maximize performance it work really successful and the database open;
