Attribute

CredentialsWalletEntry (CWE)

Purpose

Specifies the string value used to identify database credential information stored in an Oracle Wallet. When AuthenticationMethod=16 (Wallet UID & PWD), the driver retrieves the user ID and password associated with the specified value from the wallet and uses them to authenticate to the server. This value provides a method for the correct user ID and password to be retrieved when there are multiple pairs in a wallet.

See "Oracle Wallet Password Store" for a complete list of options and settings required for the Oracle Wallet Password Store feature.

Valid Values

wallet_entry_string

This value is defined when creating or modifying credentials stored in a wallet and is typically a net service name, Oracle service name, or host:port:SID string, but can be any value specified by the user creating the credentials entry.

Notes

  • When AuthenticationMethod=16 (Wallet UID & PWD), the driver retrieves user ID and passwords from the Oracle Wallet file specified by the Credentials Wallet Path (CredentialsWalletPath) option.
