Oracle Client Credentials (wallets) are essential for secure connections to the Autonomous Database. The false statement is:

The Wallet for the Autonomous Database is the same as the TDE wallet (A):This is incorrect. The Oracle Client Credential wallet (used for client authentication and connection security) is distinct from the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet (used to encrypt data at rest within the database). The client wallet contains certificates and keys for mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication, while the TDE wallet manages encryption keys for data security. They serve different purposes and are not the same.

The correct statements are:

You must have an Oracle Client Credential wallet in order to connect to the Autonomous Database (B):True. The wallet is required for mTLS, which is the default authentication method for Autonomous Databases, ensuring secure connections.

In addition to the Oracle Client Credential Wallet, a user must have a username and password in order to connect to the Autonomous Database (C):True. Alongside the wallet, a database username and password are needed for full authentication (mTLS + usercredentials).

The Oracle Client Credential file is downloaded as a ZIP file (D):True. When downloaded from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console, the wallet is provided as a ZIP file containing configuration files like tnsnames.ora and certificates.

This distinction is critical for understanding security mechanisms in Autonomous Database.
