This post covers the commands to create and then change Wallet Files/Passwords for Oracle databases using the ORAPKI utility.

$ orapki help
Oracle PKI Tool : Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 2004, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
orapki [crl|wallet|cert|help] <-nologo>
Syntax :
[-option [value]]     : mandatory, for example [-wallet [wallet]]
[-option <value>]     : optional, but when option is used its value is mandatory.
<option>              : optional, for example <-summary>, <-complete>
[option1] | [option2] : option1 'or' option2
In this example the -auto_login switch enables the Oracle database to automatically startup with the Wallet file.
$ orapki wallet create -wallet /u01/wallet/DBNAME -pwd "insert_pwd_here" -auto_login
This command shows how to change the existing Wallet Password utilizing the ORAPKI utility.
orapki wallet change_pwd -wallet /u01/DBNAME/wallet -oldpwd insert_old_password -newpwd insert_new_password
The following SQL commands show how to open, close, authenticate and query Encryption Wallet Passwords and status.
alter system set wallet open identified by "xxxxxx";
alter system set wallet close identified by "xxxxxxxx";
alter system set encryption key authenticated by "xxxxxxx";
select * from v$encryption_wallet;
