Teradata Wallet is a software utility that provides the users of an Aster Database client system with full and unrestricted access to their stored database passwords on that system, while at the same time protecting those passwords from being exposed in scripts.

Each user on an Aster Database client has a Teradata Wallet. The Teradata Wallet securely stores the passwords that the user adds to the wallet. However, a user cannot access the passwords stored in the wallets of other users.

Rather than using the passwords in scripts, you can use their corresponding names defined in your wallet.

Teradata Wallet supports Teradata Aster SQL-MapReduce® functions and the following Aster Clients on Windows and Linux:

  • ACT
  • Loader Tool
  • Export
  • JDBC
  • ODBC
  • ADO.NET
