Getting "No trusted certificate found" when attempting to connect to 10g DB

Question

Greetings,
I have an Oracle 10g DB configured to listen via TCPS. I am able to tnsping and sql+ into the DB just fine. However, when attempting to connect via SQL Developer, I get the following error:
*"Status: Failure -lo exception: sun.security.validator. ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found"*
Here is my tnsnames.ora entry:
EMCECCH01.CORPORATE.MY.COM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCPS)(HOST = emcecch01.corporate.my.com)(PORT = 1575))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = rambdb)
     (SECURITY = (MY_WALLET_DIRECTORY = C:\DBSafes\Cincinnati\dbSafe))
Obviously when I create my connection, I am using 'TNS'. I've also attempted to connect via the JDBC thin driver, but when testing the connection, it just sits and spins without ever returning a result. Here is the URL I'm using:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@emcecch01.corporate.my.com:1575:rambdb
I've verified that the appropriate JAR files are in place in the jlib directory.
Any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
If your connection entry is unusual you could try these simple things that may cause variation/different code paths:
1/ORACLE_HOME being set /unset by for example a bat script before launching sqldeveloper [see in sqldeveloper help/about/properties/ oracle.home and jdbc.library to see what oracle is using]
(you could be using sqldeveloper or other oracle install jdbc)
2/Tools/preferences/database/Advanced Parameters/Use oci thick driver set/unset
(you could be using 'pure' jdbc thin or 'mixture of c & java' ie. thick oci driver using another Oracle Home or instant client)
3/use Connection type=advanced then you can enter a fancy description (these descriptions are simple but you could have load balancing for example):
thin is pure java
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MACHINE_NAME_OR_IP)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=dev11gr1)))
oci8 is thick/c/oci-java
jdbc:oracle:oci8:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MACHINE_NAME_OR_IP)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=dev11gr1)))
(or get SQLDev to look up tnsnames.ora, connection type = tns might work)
Please post your findings and put in an enhancement request for particular connection feature support, documented with a test case.
