Oracle could well be correct... If you've still got the original ewallet.p12 
AND cwallet.sso in the same place as on the old server, and your sqlnet.ora 
file still identifies the wallet directory correctly, then I'd be inclined to 
think that the cwallet.sso (Single-SignOn file) was created as a local-only 
file. This means that it cannot be moved to another server and used there to 
open the wallet. In that case, you'll have to recreate it, or return the array 
to the old server.

Unless of course your boss/the CSO/the coffee lady/etc... has the password 
stored in some old envelope at the bottom of the safe, perhaps?  Or did the old 
guys use a generic password for almost anything? You can test on a copy of the 
ewallet.p12 file with mkstore indefinitely, there is no lockout after so many 
attempts..

Cheers,
Tony

We moved a database to a new server this morning.  Unmounted the disk array 
from the old and mounted it on the new.  Now we can't open the wallet.  The 
people who might have know the wallet password were laid off a year ago.  
Oracle support says we're screwed.  Isn't there some kind of back door?

We need this database open tomorrow morning for the customers. Any help is 
appreciated.
