For other operating systems, see the Oracle documentation for that specific
operating system.
Exporting Oracle Wallets to Third-Party Environments
Oracle Wallet Manager can export its own wallets to third party environments.
To export a wallet to third-party environments:
1. Use Oracle Wallet Manager to save the wallet file.
2. Follow the procedure specific to your third-party product to import an
operating system PKCS #12 wallet file created by Oracle Wallet Manager (called
ewallet.p12 on UNIX and Windows platforms).
Exporting Oracle Wallets to Tools that Do Not Support PKCS #12
You can export a wallet to a text-based PKI format if you want to put a wallet into a
tool that does not support PKCS #12. Individual components are formatted
according to the standards listed in Table 8–4. Within the wallet, only those
certificates with SSL key usage are exported with the wallet.
To export a wallet to text-based PKI format:
Note: Because browsers typically do not export trusted
certificates under PKCS #12 (other than the signer's own
certificate), you may need to add trust points to authenticate the
other party in the SSL connection. You can use Oracle Wallet
Manager to import trusted certificates.

Note:
■ Oracle Wallet Manager supports multiple certificates for each
wallet, yet current browsers typically support import of
single-certificate wallets only. For these browsers, you must
export an Oracle wallet containing a single key-pair.
■ Oracle Wallet Manager supports wallet export to only Netscape
Communicator 4.7.2and later, OpenSSL, and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 and later.
