Downloading Wallets from an LDAP Directory

When a wallet is downloaded from an LDAP directory, it resides in the system's working memory. It is not saved to the file system unless you expressly save it by using any of the save options described under Managing Wallets.

To download a wallet from an LDAP directory:

  1. Choose Wallet > Download from the Directory Service....

  2. A dialog box prompts for the user's distinguished name (DN), and the LDAP directory password, hostname, and port information. Oracle Wallet Manager uses simple password authentication to connect to the LDAP directory.

Depending on whether the downloading operation fails or not, one of the following results occurs:

If Oracle Wallet Manager cannot open the target wallet using the wallet password, then check to make sure you entered the correct password. Otherwise a message displays at the bottom of the window indicating that the wallet was downloaded successfully.
