I've installed Oracle Secure Backup using osbws_install.jar on a couple of hosts and it works fine on all of them (i.e. I can list, add and delete credentials in the wallet without being prompted for password).
But on one particular host, after installing, when I try to list the credentials using mkstore, it prompts for wallet password, even though there has been no password set for this. There isn't any parameter defined in sqlnet.ora for wallet directory, either.
Any idea why it may be behaving this way?
$ mkstore -wrl <location of cwallet.sso> -listCredential

Well... 11.2.0.4 is decades old, so its possible you've hit upon an old bug or similar.
What happens if you download a more recent instantclient and use mkstore / orapki from there? (This would also let you use auto login facilities even if you did have a password)
