You can configure the following object storage authentication methods for
Oracle Autonomous
Database
Connector:
ConfigFile authentication
The ConfigFile authentication uses identity credentials of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
account provided through a configuration file for authentication. This
authentication method is based on the profile selected in the configuration
file.
You can create a configuration file in the following format:
You require the user OCID, fingerprint, and tenancy OCID information from the OCI account for
the configuration file.
For more information about the steps to extract the identity credentials from the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Console, see the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
documentation.
By default, the OCI configuration file is located at
~/.oci/config
on the
Secure Agent machine. The
~/.oci/config
file can contain
several profiles. The default profile name is
DEFAULT
. You
can change the default profile name to any new profile names based on the
profiles that you add to the
~/.oci/config
file. The
~/.oci/config
file cannot contain two profiles with the
same name.
Simple authentication
The simple authentication uses API keys for authentication. You can provide the authentication
details in the
Oracle Autonomous
Database
connection. You need to place the private key file in the Secure Agent
machine.
You require the user OCID, fingerprint, and tenancy OCID information from the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure account to create an
Oracle Autonomous
Database
connection.
