Add a Credential Store

Add an agent credential store:

1. Login as the user who installed the agent.

   $ su oracle

2. Navigate to the omcli directory location.

   $ cd <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/bin

3. Stop the agent.

   $ omcli stop agent

4. Add a wallet-based credential store to an agent by using:

   $ omcli add_credential_store agent [ wallet-file ] [ -no_password ]

   The command configures the agent to use a wallet-based credential store.

   Where:

   • wallet—file: the filename location of the wallet-based credential store. The wallet can be a pre-existing file or a new file.

     If wallet-file is not specified, the default wallet file: cwallet.sso will be created under <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/sysman/config/creds directory.

   • -no_password: no password will be used in the wallet and an SSO wallet (protected only by file permissions) will be created/used.

     If -no_password is not specified, the user will be prompted for a password to use in the wallet.

   All sensitive credential data will reside in the wallet.

   For example, you can run the following:

   $ omcli add_credential_store agent -no_password
   Oracle Management Cloud Agent

   Wallet-based credential store was added successfully.

   A filename: cwallet.sso is created under <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_inst/sysman/config/creds directory.

5. Restart the agent.

   $ omcli start agent
