Using Auto Login
The Oracle Wallet Manager auto login feature creates an obfuscated copy of the
wallet and enables PKI-based access to services without a password until the auto
login feature is disabled for the wallet. File system permissions provide the
necessary security for auto login wallets. When auto login is enabled for a wallet, it
is only available to the operating system user who created that wallet.
You must enable auto login if you want single sign-on access to multiple Oracle
databases, which is disabled by default. Sometimes these are called "SSO wallets"
because they provide single sign-on capability.
