Oracle wallet authentication requirements

Before the ddbmcon program can use Oracle wallet authentication to connect to an Oracle database, you must complete the required configuration to enable the Oracle wallet authentication method. Oracle wallet authentication can be used to connect to a target database or catalog database.

To enable the Oracle wallet authentication method, you must set the following parameters for each required SID in the rman_agent.cfg configuration file:

  • Set ORACLE_SERVICE to the TNS or Net service name. For example, set the parameter to the value DBFS.
  • If the Oracle Net configuration files reside in a non-default directory, set TNS_ADMIN to the directory pathname.
  • If an RMAN catalog is used, set RMAN_CATALOG_SERVICE and RMAN_CATALOG_USER.

For example, the rman_agent.cfg configuration file includes the following settings to enable the Oracle wallet authentication for the database SID orcl:

[SID_orcl]
  ORACLE_SERVICE = DBFS
  TNS_ADMIN = /home/oracle/<alternate_TNS_location>

To confirm that Oracle wallet authentication is enabled, you can log in as the root user and run the ddutil commands as described in Verify the connectivity from ddbmcon.
