Oracle Wallet Tutorial Needed for ODP.NET

SMerrill8Mar 30 2016 — edited Mar 30 2016

Alex / Christian,

I am somewhat familiar with the Wallet as it is used on the UNIX side, as our Oracle databases are hosted on AIX and we use the Wallet in our Korn Shell scripts to execute sqlplus scripting.

Q1: Have you composed a Walkthrough or Tutorial on how to set up Oracle Wallet for use in ODP.NET applications?  We have always been using standard username/password authentication, with the password stored in plain text within the app.config file. This is not secure enough!

We have a new requirement that application passwords must be changed every 90 days, yet we do not see the point in issuing a new software version just to change the application password.

Our ODP.NET applications are distributed via ClickOnce.

Q2: Is there a way that ClickOnce-distributed apps can set up the Oracle Wallet on each client workstation?
