Using the iasobf Utility

The iasobf utility enables you to generate an obfuscated wallet password from a

cleartext

password.

If you are using an Oracle Wallet that has been created with Auto Login enabled (an
SSO wallet), then you do not need to use this utility. However, if you must use a
regular wallet with a password, then Oracle recommends that you use the
password obfuscation tool iasobf, which is located in ORACLE_
HOME
/Apache/Apache/bin

, to generate an obfuscated wallet password from a

cleartext password.

To generate an obfuscated wallet password, the command syntax is:

iasobf -p password

The obfuscated password is printed to the terminal. The arguments are optional. If
you do not type them, the tool will prompt you for the password.

On Windows systems:

The corresponding tool for Windows

environments is called osslpassword, which can be used in the
same way as iasobf.
