title: Connecting an oracle database to TOAD for Oracle using a Cloud Wallet
body: <p>I have recently downloaded toad for oracle and i want to connect it to my databases but all I have is a cloud wallet for the database. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to unzip the cloud wallet and point the toad to that location so it can read the tnsnames.ora file but it did not work. I tried editing the current TOAD tns file and adding the host, port, service name and the credentials but it still did not connect. I kept getting a lot of different errors for example connection failed. file could not open</p>
  
  <p>I do not know how to configure TOAD for it to connect. 
  Can anyone guide me in the process, I researched it a lot but nobody seem to do it often.
  Thanks</p>
