The Oracle Wallet Manager(OWM) is the tool used by Oracle to manage the authentication processes. It is a key tool for managing most of the authentication and security related tasks in an Oracle environment, this includes; authenticating users, providing SSL communication, and configuring the Transparent Data Encryption(TDE) feature, among others. There are two modes to work with the Oracle Wallet, the first one is by using the Java Oracle Wallet Manager console and the second one is by means of the mkwallet command line version, this method is suitable for batch processing. The Wallet is a very sensitive element; there are several ways to store it, not only in its file at the file system level, but also in the registry (for Windows platforms only). It can also be stored in an LDAP compliant directory.
