You can check the location and status of the keystore in the V$ENCRYPTION_WALLET view.īy default, the sqlnet.ora file is located in the ORACLE_HOME dbs directory or in the location set by the TNS_ADMIN environment variable. ( DB_UNIQUE_NAME is the unique name of the database specified in the initialization parameter file.) When the keystore location is not set in the sqlnet.ora file, then the V$ENCRYPTION_WALLET view displays the default location. If the WALLET_LOCATION parameter is also not set, then Oracle Database looks for a keystore at the default database location, which is ORACLE_BASE /admin/ DB_UNIQUE_NAME /wallet or ORACLE_HOME /admin/ DB_UNIQUE_NAME /wallet. If the ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION parameter is not set, then it attempts to use the keystore in the location that is specified by the parameter WALLET_LOCATION. It attempts to use the keystore in the location specified by the parameter ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in the sqlnet.ora file. When determining which keystore to use, Oracle Database searches for the keystore location in the following places, in this order: In the sqlnet.ora file, you must set the ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION parameter to specify the keystore location.

In a multitenant environment: The keystore location is set for the entire multitenant container database (CDB), not for individual pluggable databases (PDBs). Oracle recommends that you place the keystore on a shared file system, such as Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) or NFS. In an Oracle RAC environment: If you are using the srvctl utility and if you want to include environment variables in the sqlnet.ora configuration file, then you must set these environment variables in both the operating system and the srvctl environment. Note the following behavior when you must edit the sqlnet.ora file in an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) or a multitenant environment: Preferably, this directory should be empty. Ensure that this directory exists beforehand.

You must edit the sqlnet.ora file to define a directory location for the keystore that you plan to create. Oracle Database checks the sqlnet.ora file for the directory location of the keystore, whether it is a software keystore, a hardware module security (HSM) keystore, or an Oracle Key Vault keystore.
