convert a .pfx file to an Oracle Wallet

In case you got a .pfx file from your SSL certificate provider and you want to convert it to an Oracle Wallet follow the following simple procedure

Note : Make sure the .pfx file has the entire certificate chain + a private key

Rename the .pfx file to ewallet.p12
copy the ewallet.p12 to the final destination ( where you want to keep your oracle wallet) this is important since copying the wallet around once its done wont help

Launch the Oracle Wallet Manager
Click Wallet >> Open and point to the location where you have kept the ewallet.p12
Provide password if required
click Wallet >> AutoLogin
click Wallet >> Save

Your Oracle Wallet is now ready for use.....

connect ("admin","password","localhost:7001")
atnr=cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm().lookupAuthenticationProvider("DefaultAuthenticator")
users=['test1','test2','test3','test4','test5']
groups=['someGroup']
for user in users:
try:
atnr.createUser(user,'password','TestUser')
print user,': created'
except Exception, e:
print user,': exist'
for group in groups:
for user in users:
try:
atnr.addMemberToGroup(group,user)
