Ability to Use Encrypted Passwords for Database Links with Oracle Data Pump

Security → Audit

The behavior for handling database link passwords has changed in this release. Passwords in database links are now encrypted. Oracle Data Pump handles the export and import of these passwords. Import operations from older versions and export operations to older versions can still be used.

Business Benefit: The benefit of this feature is that it prevents an intruder from decrypting an encrypted database link password.
