Hello,
I have a question on Oracle Wallet Manager and will appreciate if you can help me with this:
In our environment, there are distributed databases and background processes running on different systems ( windows NT and SGI IRIX ) the application uses Oracle Background processes which have Database account names and login to processes running on different machines..
In an environment which has 250+ systems, changing passwords every 60 days or so becomes very cumbersome and problematic: If one network link is down, the password change is not done on one system and the next time the application tries to access a remote process it does not work..
Currently, the password changes are restricted to once a year ..
In the long run, it would be a better solution to replace this set-up with a industry standard secure architecture (i.e. one using PKI tokens, Certificate Authority etc..)
Currently, I am looking at Oracle Wallet Manager as a possible solution .. will appreciate, if you can give me some feedback, whether this will be feasible ..
Thank you ..
