Deleting the Wallet
To delete the current open wallet:
1. Choose Wallet > Delete. The Delete Wallet dialog box appears.
2. Review the displayed wallet location to verify you are deleting the correct
wallet.
3. Enter the wallet password.
4. Choose OK. A dialog panel appears to inform you that the wallet was
successfully deleted.
Changing the Password
A password change is effective immediately. The wallet is saved to the currently
selected directory, with the new encrypted password.
Note:
■ SSL uses the wallet that is saved in the system default directory
location.
■ Some Oracle applications are not able to use the wallet if it is
not in the system default location. Check the Oracle
documentation for your specific application to determine
whether wallets must be placed in the default wallet directory
location.
Note: Any open wallet in application memory will remain in
memory until the application exits. Therefore, deleting a wallet that
is currently in use does not immediately affect system operation.
Note: If you are using a wallet with auto login enabled, you must
regenerate the auto login wallet after changing the password. See
"Using Auto Login" on page 8-19
