I recently have an issue with Oracle TDE wallet password. As part of our quarterly Security patch, we are planning to patch one of the database which using this Wallet for the encryption. Means I will need to shutdown and startup the database. The problem is when we restart the database then we need to open the wallet so the tables that encrypted can be visible for the trusted connection. Just guess what ? nobody sure about what is the wallet password in production.( The previous DBA has left the company, also with the password - "Very good").
Back to the issue, now I have to make sure I can open the wallet with the correct password before I can shutdown this database. This issue as good as "This Database should be alive all the time", once it is down without the wallet password it will become useless. I actually raise SR about this issue on how to test the wallet password without affecting our production database operation. As in the documentation written, there is no way to recover the password if the password is lost. But they never mention on how to test it if somehow nobody remember the password.Anyhow Oracle support still telling me there is no way to test the password.
Well I almost give up. But I just do my own testing, I just copy the wallet file from production to my testing environment. Let say my wallet in production are located here(sqlnet.ora) :
I just copy "ewallet.p12" to my testing environment directory :
The first thing is we need to test to open that wallet with any password that we think is correct. Once we can open the wallet with the correct password, we can test if the wallet is valid to open the data in production. I import a table from production that having encryption on one of the columns. Well this tricks works for me and I managed to patch my database in production and open the wallet safely.
Of course if the wallet password can't be find, my suggestion is make sure that database keep alive :)
Let's keep the wallet password safely now.

ReplyDeleteTHIS IS MY STORY ABOUT HOW I GOT SCAMMED BY A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY INVESTMENT PLATFORM THAT STOLE $200K OF MY RETIREMENT SAVINGS you really have to be careful who you let into your financial life. When I met this “dream guy”, I thought my life was finally coming around. He was a Jamaican guy, 7 years younger than me. We had a whole plan mapped out. Investments were our first goal. Soon, I was completely lost in him. And we started our investment journey with a shared account. Of course, I had a bigger share since I already had a successful business. Everything was fine until I started getting calls from my financial manager. Large amounts of money were being withdrawn and then he got worried. Of course, “my guy” dismissed it, saying the funds were used in new investments. $430K was the final blow. This also happened at a time when we were going through a rough patch in our relationship. This was the last blow I could take and so I tried to contact him. I could not get through to him. In two months, no word yet. I contacted the authorities but they dismissed me based on my spouse’s disagreements. I sort of help relentlessly. Until a friend introduced me to intelligencecyberwizard@gmail.com I can’t thank them enough. Thank you for refunding my money back.
