Using Microsoft Certificate Stores with Oracle PKI Applications

Wallet Resource Locator (WRL) specifies that parameter WALLET_LOCATN in file sqlnet.ora identifies a particular PKI.

You can choose between using Oracle Wallet or Microsoft Certificate Stores by setting parameter WALLET_LOCATN in sqlnet.ora. To use credentials from Microsoft Certificate Stores, set parameter WALLET_LOCATN in sqlnet.ora to:

WALLET_LOCATN = (SOURCE = (METHOD=MCS))

The Oracle application uses Oracle's TCP/IP with SSL protocol (TCPS) to connect to Oracle Server. The SSL protocol uses X.509 certificates and trust points from the user's Microsoft Certificate Store for SSL authentication.
