Oracle wallet

Caleb Amarfio

I have configured an oracle wallet on a database 19c and want to connect oracle 12c application to the wallet. Please how can I go about it with a step by step approach.

Oracle Forms (and Reports) uses Oracle Net (aka SqlNet) to connect to the database. Therefore, you configure connectivity similarly to how you would configure most Oracle DB clients; in tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora. In the case of Forms/Reports 12, a sqlnet.ora is not included so if you need one (depending on our configuration desires) simple create/add one to the same directory where you find tnsnames.ora

Refer to the DB documentation for information on how to configure the use of a wallet with DB clients.

In the future, please ensure that you include complete product and version numbers so we can be certain to provide accurate and helpful responses. References like "19c", "12c", "11g" are a portion of a product name and not their version. Often these references can include many actual versions, which is the case for Forms/Reports 12c

why - for which purpose?

Caleb Amarfio

For the end users of the application to manage their passwords. The purpose is to modify passwords for security reasons without affecting the application.

@Caleb Amarfio

What Frank is asking is which application technology are you planning to use for connecting to this wallet protected environment?

Thank you for the quick responds. The application technology is oracle forms.
