Unless you have a hardware security module (a PKCS #11 device), then you should use a standard wallet that stores credentials in a directory on your file system.
To create a standard Oracle wallet, perform the following tasks:
Start Oracle Wallet Manager.
(UNIX) At the command line, enter the following command:
owm
(Windows) Select Start, Programs, Oracle-HOME_NAME, Integrated Management Tools, Wallet Manager
From the Wallet menu, select New.
If you have not yet created a directory for the wallet, then you are prompted to create this directory. By default, the wallet directory is created in the /oracle/owm/wallets/user_name directory.
The New Wallet dialog box appears.
Enter the following information:
Password and Confirm Password: Enter a password in these two fields. Ensure that you follow the guidelines in "Required Guidelines for Creating Oracle Wallet Passwords". This password protects unauthorized use of your credentials.
Wallet Type: Select Standard.
Click OK.
An alert is displayed, and informs you that a new empty wallet has been created. It prompts you to decide whether you want to add a certificate request.
When prompted to create a certificate request, select one of the following options:
Yes: See "Adding a Certificate Request".
No: If you select No, then you are returned to the Oracle Wallet Manager main window. The new wallet you just created is displayed in the left window pane. The certificate has a status of [Empty], and the wallet displays its default trusted certificates.
From the Wallet menu, select Save In System Default to save the new wallet.
If you do not have permission to save the wallet in the system default, then you can save it to another location. This location must be used in the SSL configuration for clients and servers.
A message at the bottom of the window confirms that the wallet was successfully saved.
