Can a Wallet be used with SQL Developer? How?

Question

I have a Wallet configured and working fine for SQLPlus. Is there a way to make it work with SQL Developer?

Answer 1

One way to do this is to specify an Advanced Connection Type and enter a custom JDBC URL as follows:

jdbc:oracle:oci:/@myDatabase

In addition the "OS Authentication" check box needs to be checked. This would seem to cause it to pass the OS username and password, but apparently (perhaps because I don't have NTS set as an authentication service in my sqlnet.ora) it does not and instead uses the wallet.
