This appendix describes how to use the Wallet feature of WebAdmin.
When a remote instance or a standby instance is created, it is necessary to provide user name and password for authentication with the remote machine or the database instance.
The Wallet feature in WebAdmin is a convenient way to create and store these credentials.
Once created, these credentials can be repeatedly used in one or more instances.
Note
It is not mandatory to create a credential in the Wallet. It is possible to create a remote instance or a standby instance without creating any credential in the Wallet.
If no credential is created beforehand, a user name and password can be entered in the instance creation page. When creating a "Remote" instance, if operating system credentials are entered without using a credential stored in the Wallet, WebAdmin automatically creates a credential with the given user name and password, and stores it in the user’s wallet for future use.
