Update the DBFS Wallet Password

After you update the schema password, the Oracle Database File System (DBFS) mount point does not work because its wallet is not synchronized with the credentials and fails to mount. To avoid this problem, you must manually regenerate the DBFS wallet with a new password.

To update the wallet password:

1. Use the ssh command to connect to the Administration Server:

   ssh -i private_key opc@VM_IP_address

2. Change to the oracle user:

   sudo su - oracle

3. Go to the DBFS directory:

   /u01/data/domains/domain_name/dbfs

4. Back up the old wallet:

   mv wallet wallet_bckup

5. Create a temp file to store the prefix_DBFS user credentials. For exmaple:

   vi /var/tmp/dbfsp

   In the file, enter:
6. Enter the new database credentials three times in the dbfsp file on three different lines. For example:

   
   ab#$12CDaf40f1c
   ab#$12CDaf40f1c
   ab#$12CDaf40f1c

   If you need to find out the default database credentials, see Discover the Default Database Password.

7. Create a new wallet directory:

   mkdir wallet

8. Save the file.
9. Enter the following commands to generate the Oracle Wallet at /u01/data/domains/domain_name/dbfs:

   $middleware_home/oracle_common/bin/mkstore -wrl /u01/data/domains/domain_name 
   /dbfs/wallet -create < /var/tmp/dbfsp

   Note:

   If you see the following exception, rerun the mkstore command from a new terminal:

   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
   oracle/security/pki/OracleSecretStoreTextUI : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

10. Enter the following commands to add the new credentials in the wallet. In this example, SchemaPrefix_DBFS is the DBFS user name:

    $middleware_home/oracle_common/bin/mkstore -wrl /u01/data/domains/domain_name/dbfs/wallet 
    -createCredential ORCL SchemaPrefix_DBFS < /var/tmp/dbfsp

11. To verify if the wallet is updated with the new password, enter the following command:

    $middleware_home/oracle_common/bin/mkstore -wrl /u01/data/domains/domain_name/dbfs/wallet -listCredential

    The output should list the DBFS user name and look as follows:

    Oracle Secret Store Tool : Version 12.2.1.3.1 
    Copyright (c) 2004, 2019, Oracle and/or its affiliates. 
    All rights reserved.
    Enter wallet password: 
    List credential (index: connect_string username) 
    1: ORCL SP12944567290_DBFS

12. Repeat these steps on all nodes of the Managed Server.
