Hi Friends,
In my organization I have suggested oracle wallet to store passwords instead of hard coding with cofig file, code etc. here all applications connecting with oracle through instant clients. I have some basic questions on Oracle wallet.
1] does oracle wallet comes with Oracle Instant client or I need full Oracle client installation?
2] is there anyway to use Oracle wallet with instant client? i.e. any binary etc.

Please give me any link, doc related with this.

Env: Oracle 11gR1, REHL

Your quick response is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Santoshkumar.

1] I don't know but you don't need the full client to use the wallet.
2] As long as you use tnsnames.ora (and sqlnet.ora) for your connection string you can use the wallet.

Regards
Michel

Instant client does not come with wallet required binaries. Hense you have to create wallet store+entries on any server and client and move files on client machindes. and move files on client. see following:

1] on server
mkstore -wrl "/etc/oraWallet" -create

2] mkstore -wrl "<wallet file locaiton>" -createCredential tnsalise username password

3] sqlnet.ora entry on client
SQLNET.ORA
==============
WALLET_LOCATION =
(SOURCE =
(METHOD = FILE)
(METHOD_DATA =
(DIRECTORY = /etc/oraWallet)
)
)

SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = TRUE
SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = FALSE
SSL_VERSION = 0


4] add entry with tnsnames.ora with tnsalise

tnsalise =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = ON)
(FAILOVER = ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodbox00-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prodbox01-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = prod01)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 20)
(DELAY = 1)
)
)
)

5] use with sql
sqlplus /@tnsalise

regards,
Santoshkumar.
