20.4 Configure Your Environment to Use the New SSL Wallet

To have your SSL wallet take effect on your Oracle Database environment, you must point to the newly created SSL wallet.

To point to the SSL wallet, add it to your SQLnet.ora file on the OCI Server side. If you are on an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) installation, then you must adjust the SQLnet.ora file on all nodes.

The location of the SQLnet.ora file that you update depends on your OCI deployment:

  • Cloud installations without Oracle Grid Infrastructure: The default location of this file is $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
  • Cloud installations with Oracle Grid infrastructure: The default location is $GRID_HOME/network/admin.

Note:

If you already had a wallet for SSL certificates and added the certificates to the existing wallet, then this step is not necessary.
WALLET_LOCATION=
(SOURCE=(METHOD=FILE)
(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=/u01/app/oracle/dcs/commonstore/wallets/ssl)))

You do not have to to restart the database listener.
