10.2.3 Configuring a Wallet for Oracle Connection Manager in Traffic Director Mode Proxy Authentication

Oracle Connection Manager in Traffic Director Mode connects to the databases using the wallet that must be configured with cman.ora file.

This wallet has the user name and the password information for the tdm user used by Oracle Connection Manager in Traffic Director Mode for proxy authentication. This tdm user must exist on all the databases that the Oracle Connection Manager in Traffic Director Mode connects to.

The following setting causes all outbound connections from Oracle Connection Manager in Traffic Director Mode to use the credentials in the wallet at the specified location for proxy authentication:

WALLET_LOCATION=
	(SOURCE=
		(METHOD=FILE)
		(METHOD_DATA=
			(DIRECTORY=wallet_location)
		)
 	)
SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE=TRUE

Note:

The parameter WALLET_LOCATION is deprecated for use with Oracle AI Database 26ai for the Oracle Database server. It is not deprecated for use with the Oracle Database client or listener.

For Oracle Database server, Oracle recommends that you use the WALLET_ROOT system parameter instead of using WALLET_LOCATION.

The wallet must be configured for each service. If a new service is added, then you must supply the credentials for the new service using the same wallet.

Note:

Whenever a new service is added and the credentials for the new service are added to the wallet, the Oracle Cloud Traffic Manager should be restarted for the changes to take effect.
