ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location

This error comes while creating a keystore at a location where there is already a keystore exists and you can see ewallet.p12 file already present there.

To solve the problem, use a different location to create a keystore (use ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in sqlnet.ora file to specify the keystore location), or move this ewallet.p12 file to some other location.

ORA-46633: creation of a password-based keystore failed

You can face this error while creating a keystore but you have specified a wrong keystore location while executing the statement.

SQL> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE 'C:\APP\ORACLE\ADMIN\WALLET\SALMAN12C\WALLET' IDENTIFIED BY salman12; ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE

ORA-46658: keystore not open in the container

You may face this error when database needs to access the keystore and keystore is not open. For example, while changing keystore password, or while creating/rotating master encryption key. In the following example, I faced this error while creating master encryption key.

ORA-28417: password-based keystore is not open

You may face this error while creating a master encryption key while having/using auto-login (or local auto-login) keyswtore, but your password-based keystore is still closed which is required to be open before you can create master encryption key.

SQL> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT SET KEY IDENTIFIED BY salman12 WITH BACKUP USING 'initial_backup' CONTAINER = ALL ;
