Navigator Pane The navigator pane provides a graphical tree view of the certificate
requests and certificates stored in the Oracle home where Oracle Wallet Manager is
installed. You can use the navigator pane to view, modify, add, or delete certificates
and certificate requests.
The navigator pane functions the same way as it does in other Oracle graphical user
interface tools, enabling you to
■ Expand and contract wallet objects so that you can manage the user and trusted
certificates they contain.
■ Right-click a wallet, certificate, or certificate request to perform operations on it
such as add, remove, import, or export.
When you expand a wallet, you see a nested list of user and trusted certificates.
When you select a wallet or certificate in the navigator pane, details about your
selection display in the adjacent right pane of Oracle Wallet Manager. Table 2–1 lists
the main objects that display in the navigator pane.
Right Pane The right pane displays information about an object that is selected in the
navigator pane. The right pane is read-only.
Figure 2–3 shows what is displayed in the right pane when a certificate request
object is selected in the navigator pane. Information about the request and the
requester's identity display in the Requested Identity, Key Size, and Key Type
fields. The PKCS #10-encoded certificate request displays in the Certificate Request
