Two ssl users from same client machine

Question

Hi all,
We are using oracle database 10.2.0.3 EE and have a ssl user set up from the app server to the database based on metalink note 736510.1. That being said I have been asked to create another ssl user but how is that possible. I tried in the database but came back with:
ORA-28026: user with same external name already exists
So I created a second wallet for the second user but is it possible to define two wallet locations in the oracle client sqlnet.ora file? I can point the location to either but is it possible for two.
Here is what is in client sqlnet.ora file:
WALLET_LOCATION =
(SOURCE =
(METHOD = FILE)
(METHOD_DATA =
(DIRECTORY = /path1/ssl)
How can I tell it to also check for the other (i.e. /path2/ssl)? Any ideas for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Troy

Hello Troy;
There is a restriction that a single SQLNET.ORA file can contain only one entry of WALLET_LOCATION or ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION.
This notes explains how to get by that restriction :
How To Maintain Multiple Wallets For A Single Database Instance [ID 759226.1]
I think you can do something like this too, so in theory you can use an alias.
ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
  (SOURCE = (METHOD = HSM)
     (METHOD_DATA =
       (DIRECTORY = /etc/ORACLE/WALLETS/<$ORACLE_SID>)))Best Regards
