I have TDE enable in system. Now i want to remove wallet from the server and keep another secure place so that it can't be put in wrong hand. Is there any way that i can remove the wallet folder from the server while encryption and decryption on?
View 1 RepliesI'm reviewing the method of setting up transparent data encryption (TDE) and the role Oracle Wallet plays in that process. One statement that caught my attention was this statement in the documentation:
Quote:You can also choose to create a local auto login wallet. Local auto login wallets cannot be moved to another computer. They must be used on the host on which they are created." URL....
Why an auto-login wallet can't be moved to another computer? For example, if my Oracle database server goes down and I'm in a recovery situation, would an autologin Oracle wallet file restored from tape not work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI successfully created a Oracle Wallet in AIX. The wallet is belong to user "oracle" and permission is 755. I can access it with non-oracle user. Note: the non-oracle user is under the same group as "oracle" id.
But when I try to change the Oracle Waller permission to less than 755, I am not able to access it anymore. The error is "ORA-12578: TNS:wallet open failed".
My question is how can I access the Oracle Wallet without using 755 permission?
Is there a way to have separate wallets for each windows user? Well, I have found a way, but does not seem to work always properly and that is with %USERNAME% environment variable.

Is it a compatibility issue ?

I need few clarifications regarding oracle wallet.
db version: 11.2.0.3.2 (Enterprise Edition)
We have a requirement to run shell scripts calling stored procedures for specific activities, which are run on database server. We do not want to store passwords in shell scripts and decided to use Secure External Password Store for hiding passwords instead of os authentication method. need few clarifications on the below.
1) Currently, we are creating oracle wallet entry on db server and making modifications in sqlnet.ora file accordingly. Is it good to use like this or we should do this only on a client machine?
2) Do we need any licensing to use this option?
3) Any knows issues with using oracle wallet?
4) Can we use orapki for creating oracle wallet instead of mkstore?
5) Any knows issues we face during startup and shutdown of db activities?
I am getting error "ora-28374 typed master key not found in wallet".
steps-
1) created tablespace and user to the respective tablespace.
2) created table by issuing command as "CREATE TABLE TEST1 (SR_NO NUMBER(3), NAME VARCHAR2(30) ENCRYPT) DEFAULT TABLESPACE ENC". (by user - enc_user)
3) Inserted rows on to the table.
4) entry made in sqlnet.ora as
ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
(SOURCE=(METHOD=FILE)(METHOD_DATA=
(DIRECTORY=C:appAdministratoradmin estencrypted_wallet/)))
5) issued command as sysdba - ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION KEY IDENTIFIED BY "ASHISH123";
6) restarted the database.
7) since i want to made it autologin. so I open wallet through the below mentioned path program file >>oracle_home>> integrated management tool >> wallet But when it asked the password I typed the same password but it was not accepting. So i made new wallet with the same specified path. Also I clicked on auto login.
8) Now, i have restarted the database and tried to issue the command "ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION KEY IDENTIFIED BY "suresh123";
While issuing the command, getting error "ora-28374 typed master key not found in wallet". "
i tried with the recreation of new folder again on the same path as -"C:appAdministratoradmin estwallet" and same entry updated on sqlnet.ora. But facing the same error.
Is there any way to re-create or modify the encryption of tablespace?

My database is 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.3 with TDE tablespace encryption, ASM db storage. The wallet needs to be opened for MRP to work in physical standby database. I already have the solution for the primary instances to automate wallet open (e.g. using startup trigger for 11.1.0.7). However, I cannot find solution to automate wallet open operation in standby instances (to issue ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY ""').
Manual operation everytime standby instance is started is not feasible.
i am installing oracle 11g rel2 ( o/s : hp ux 11.31 ). already we have 11g rel1 installed in the machine where oracle inventory location is /oracle/oraInventory where /oracle is ORACLE_BASE directory..
cd /oracle
ls -ltr
drwxrwxr-x 4 ora11gr1 dba 8192 Aug 30 00:19 oraInventory
now when i install oracle 11g rel2 on the same machine, it should use the existing oraInventory..but it is prompting us to enter the new location for oraInventory during installation....but as per the naming convention, we need to keep inventory directory under /oracle/oraInventory only..
when i select oraInventory location as /oracle/oraInventory from wizard, iam getting below error:
[INS-32055] The Central Inventory is located in the Oracle base.

1.) Import impdp is very slow 10GB/Hrs on staging database (Data Guard MAXIMUM AVAILBILITY)Since Server configuration, database version and configuration, operating system everything are same as production. No blocking, locking or waiting sessions
2.)import impdp is fast 90GB/Hrs on Test standalone database and this test database is running in NOARCHIVE LOG mode with oracle standard version after that no more difference.
CPU,Memory,network and disk I/O are look normal while importing on both databases.why that much difference on import.

I am trying to use oracle wallet with the new odp.net managed driver, but I am getting
"invalid username/password".
As the wallet itself is ok (it works with the unmanaged client), seems to me that this new provider is not fully compatible with Oracle Wallet. Is this true? I am trying this:
<oracle.manageddataaccess.client> <version number="*"> <settings> <setting name="tns_admin" value="D:oracleproduct11.2.0client_1
etworkadmin" /> <setting name="WALLET_LOCATION" value="D:oraclewallets" /> </settings> </version> </oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
I have created a wallet (11g R2 OEL 5.5) using the OWM.Tried opening the wallet (encryption_wallet_location set in sqlnet.ora). then while creating a table it said the master encryption key is not present. Have created the master key using the following command.
alter system set encryption key identified by "Password";
Here the strange thing i observed is that when we create a wallet using the OWM, it asks for the password and when i open the same wallet the master key is not created and it allows the master key to be generated with the same password that i have created the wallet in the first place with the OWM, with any other passwords it says that the wallet is not open.
After creating the wallet and creating the master key... I have the following questions, and its becoming quite hard to find the solutions as well.
1. Can we have multiple encryption keys... say i want to encrypt a table or column with one key and other with an another key.
2. How many keys can we have for objects in the table? or can we have only one key and many certificates.
3. wallet created, and encrypted tables present, the wallet is not in auto open mode, but somehow the database open after it is shutdown, here no encrypted tablespaces are present.
4. while creating an encrypted tablespace the default storage (encrypt ) has to be added to the add tablespace clause.
I need to enable authentication over LDAP SSL. I've configured a wallet (auto login) containing required certificates and set accordingly WALLET_PATH and WALLET_PWD settings using apex_instance_admin.set_parameter method. With this, everything is working fine and LDAP over SSL is working well. It confirms that the wallet is properly configured, valid and usable.
So, the wallet was created with auto login option and it seems to work well without specifying password when calling utl_http.
Proof of properly configured auto login wallet (without password).

View 3 Replies View RelatedLost Windows password? Forgot Windows password? Your PC was hacked? Therefore, it is a basic step for every Windows users to enhance the security of Windows password. In the networks, it is found that a number of user's passwords are easy to guess. Only the smallest groups are the most security conscious and select passwords that are mixed lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation to create cryptic passwords. Adopting strong password is one of the most effective ways to ensure system security. Here are several methods for you to enhance the security of your passwords in Windows 7/2000/XP/Vista and so on. You'd better remember the methods below unless you want to reset Windows password from time to time.
1. Is random password a great password?
A common myth is that totally random passwords like Ht3&e#L%5d@$B are the best passwords. This is not true. While they may be strong passwords, they are usually difficult to remember, slow to type, and sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm. It is easy to create passwords that are strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password "Luck-73@Better?". This password utilizes uppercase and lowercase letters, two numbers, and three symbols. The password is 15 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast. The portion"Luck" and "Better" alternate between left and right-handed keys on the keyboard, improving speed, decreasing typos, and decreasing the chances of someone being able to discover your password by watching you.
2. Create the long Windows password
Although a password may eventually be discovered through some means, it is possible to create a password that cannot be cracked in any reasonable time. If a password is long enough, it will take so long or require so much processing power to crack it. That is essentially the same as being unbreakable (at least for most hackers).
3. Create the Windows password constantly?
This may be good advice for some high-risk passwords, but it is not the best policy for every user. It is frustrating for a user to have to constantly think of and remember new passwords every 30 days. It may be better to focus on stronger passwords and better user awareness rather than limiting password age. A more realistic time for the common user may be 90-120 days.
4. Write down Windows password in a proper place
Sometimes it is necessary for some users losing and forgetting complex passwords easily to write down them somewhere proper. However, it is important to educate users on how to write down passwords properly. Obviously, a sticky note on the monitor is not a good idea, but storing passwords in a safe or even a locked cabinet may be sufficient.
5. 14 characters is the optimal password length
Each character that you add to your password increases the protection. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is the Optimal Password Length. Many systems also support use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words. It is not easier to forget and lose, as well as longer than a simple password, and harder to guess.
6. Try not to use the same Windows password for all accounts
Some users always make the same passwords for every account to make it easy to remember. In that case, when any one of them lost, your other information protected by that password will be in danger as well. It is serious to use different passwords for different systems and accounts.
7. Do not use some common words that other users maybe guess
Most of users prefer to use some common words to remember easily, for example, login name, birth date, driver's license, passport number, pets' name and other words contained their personal information someone knows. In that case, your Windows system will not be safe anymore. Moreover, do remember not to use some words spelled backwards, abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters and adjacent letters, such as, asdfgh, 123456, 888888, abcdef and so on.
You can smoothly use your Windows now because the strong and powerful Windows password is created successfully, Certainly, I believe that many users lost Windows password and forgot Windows password, then you need have to reset Windows password or recover Windows password. It is a big problem for plenty of Windows users that how to reset Windows password. how to recover Windows password and they are puzzled by resetting windows password, for instance, reset Windows 7 password, recover password Windows XP, remove Windows Vista password and other operating systems after they create the password with complex letters, numbers and symbols. However, it is unnecessary to worry and it is said that things will eventually sort themselves out. There are many ways to reset forgotten Windows password, including use windows password reset disk and windows password reset software, like Super Windows Password Reset, a professional windows password reset software which could enable you to logon to Windows smoothly without reinstalling system.
In Sybase, my application was using system tables to perform application login security. Those tables obviously don't exist in Oracle. I am looking for ways to provide the following functionality in an Oracle world:
1. How to determine 'x' days of inactivity based on "last login date"?
2. How to determine when a new user logs in for the first time and force them to change their password?
3. If we need to reset a users password, how can we require the user to change their password?
4. Is there any other option other than storing a user-id/password in the application code for locking a user's account if their account needs to be locked due to inactivity?
5. In the USER_USERS view there is a status column. What the different status's can be?
