Oracle Wallet Manager can upload wallets to and retrieve them from an LDAP-compliant directory.
Note: The directory password and the wallet password are independent, and can be different. You should maintain these passwords to be consistently different, where neither one can logically be derived from the other.
To upload or download wallets, Oracle Wallet Manager requires that enterprise users are already defined and configured in the LDAP directory. If a directory contains Oracle8i (or prior) users, then they are automatically upgraded to use the wallet upload/download feature upon first use.
Oracle Wallet Manager downloads a user wallet using a simple password-based connection to the LDAP directory. However, for uploads it uses an SSL connection if the open wallet contains a certificate with SSL Oracle PKI certificate usage.
If an SSL certificate is not present in the wallet, password-based authentication is used.
