Oracle wallet and jdbc thin driver

I wss trying out some test code with the wallet and JDBC thin driver written when we were using 11.1.0.6.

My CLASSPATH contains:

/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar
/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/jlib/oraclepki.jar

I kept getting this error:-

"java.sql.SQLException: encountered a problem with the Secret Store. Check the wallet location for the presence of an open wallet (cwallet.sso) and ensure that this wallet contains the correct credentials using the mkstore utility: java.io.IOException: PKI-02002: Unable to open the wallet. Check password."

Eventually I managed to fix this by changing the permissions of the ewallet.p12 so that it is world readable, the same as the cwallet.sso file.

I do not like doing this because it means anyone can now copy both the .sso and .p12 files.

I do not understand why this is required when using the thin driver. Any ideas?

Thanks

Pete
