# Enable Oracle Wallet authentication

# Enable Oracle Wallet authentication for discovery {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Yokohama

Enable Oracle Wallet authentication to use credentials stored on the target server during Oracle database discovery on UNIX systems.

## Before you begin

* Verify that the configured Discovery user can connect via SSH to the host.
* Configure Oracle Wallet on the target server for the Discovery user. For more information, see [Using Oracle Wallet authentication for Oracle Discovery on Unix/Linux \[KB3059862\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB3059862).
* Verify that the following applications are up to date:
  * Visibility Content starting with version 6.32.0
  * Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns starting with version 1.31.0
  * For Oracle GLAS discovery: Data Collection for Oracle Global Licensing and Advisory Services starting with version 1.12.0

Role required: discovery_admin

## About this task

Oracle Wallet stores database credentials directly on the target server. When the glide.discovery.oracle_wallet_authentication property is set to true, discovery reads credentials from Oracle Wallet instead of from applicative credentials stored on the instance. The property is set to false by default.

## Procedure

1. In the navigation filter, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_properties.list</kbd>.
2. In the Name column, search for <kbd class="ph userinput">glide.discovery.oracle_wallet_authentication</kbd>.
3. Select the glide.discovery.oracle_wallet_authentication system property.
4. In the Value field, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.  
   To switch back to applicative credentials, set the value to <kbd class="ph userinput">false</kbd>.
5. Select Update.
