I have a quick question relating to Oracle TDE. Could somebody please explain why both of the following pairs of commands appear to work when opening/closing an ecryption wallet? Is the wallet password actually needed for this or not? If not, when exactly do we need to use the password? Many thanks.

administer key management set keystore close identified by "<wallet password>";
administer key management set keystore open identified by "<wallet password>";

administer key management set keystore close identified by "null";
administer key management set keystore open identified by "null";

  • Its weird - what is the database version? - For opening/closing an wallet it is required a wallet password.

  • 11g ... I've tested similar cmds on 19c and I could open the wallet using "none".

Looks like it's all down to using Key Vault rather than a local wallet. The password is apparently always null in this case.
