Auto-login keystore

Autologin keystore is a type of keystore that doesn't need to be manually opened. The local autologin keystore can be opened only from computer where it has been created. Autologin keystores have system-generated passwords. They are less secure than password-based keystores. They are created from password-based software keystores.

Getting ready

It is assumed that password-based software keystore is created.

How to do it...

1. Connect to the database as a user who has administer key privilege or SYSKM privilege (for example, maja):

   $ sqlplus maja
   

2. Create (local) an autologin keystore. In our case, keystore_location is /u01/app/oracle/admin/ora12cR1/wallet and keystore_password is welcome1:

   SQL> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE LOCAL AUTO_LOGIN KEYSTORE FROM 
   KEYSTORE 'keystore_location' IDENTIFIED BY keystore_password;
   OR
   SQL> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE AUTO_LOGIN KEYSTORE FROM 
   KEYSTORE 'keystore_location' IDENTIFIED BY keystore_password;
   

How it works.....
