wallet_file_path
the fully-qualified path to the Oracle Wallet file in which your database credential information is stored.

Notes

  • Warning: If you are distributing the driver with your application, you must prevent your end users from setting the value for the Credentials Wallet Path option. The Credentials Wallet Path option provides a method for you to specify a Oracle Wallet file used to authenticate to your database. However, if exposed, the option can be used to specify files that execute malicious or undesirable code. Refer to Security best practices for ODBC applications in the Progress DataDirect for ODBC Drivers Reference for more information.
  • The value specified for this option should be an absolute path to a mounted drive.
  • An Oracle Wallet can contain multiple User ID password pairs. To ensure the driver retrieves the correct credentials, you must specify the identifier string for the credentials using the Credentials Wallet Entry (CredentialsWalletEntry) option.
  • If you are using an ewallet.p12 file for your wallet, specify the Oracle Wallet file password using the Wallet Password (CredentialsWalletPassword) option.
