Export Oracle Wallet with unencrypted private key

Posted by John Paul van Helvoort on June 30, 2009

Today i was asked to export the private key of an Oracle Wallet.
After some searching and trying is was able to export this by using openssl.
Oracle Wallet Manager normally only exports the context of the wallet in encrypted format.
This is an Oracle by design decision not to allow export of unencrypted private keys as of security reasons from within the Oracle Wallet Manager. If you however require to export the unencrypted private key and certificate you should use the following command :

openssl pkcs12 -in ewallet.p12 -passin pass: -out ewallet.txt -nodes
