To gain local access the tools, utilities and other resources on a compute node associated with MySQL Cloud Service, you use Secure Shell (SSH) client software to establish a secure connection and log in as the user opc
. Once logged in as opc
, you can switch to the oracle
user.
Several SSH clients are freely available. The following sections show how to use SSH clients on UNIX, UNIX-like and Windows platforms to connect to a compute node associated with MySQL Cloud Service.
UNIX and UNIX-like platforms (including Solaris and Linux) include the ssh utility, an SSH client.
Before You Begin
Before you use the ssh utility to connect to a compute node, you need the following:
The IP address of the compute node
The IP address of a compute node associated with a database deployment on MySQL Cloud Service is listed on the MySQL Cloud Service Overview page. For instructions to display this page, see Viewing Detailed Information for a MySQL Server Deployment.
The SSH private key file that matches the public key associated with the deployment.
Procedure
PuTTY is a freely available SSH client program for Windows.
Before You Begin
Before you use the PuTTY program to connect to a compute node, you need the following:
The IP address of the compute node
The IP address of a compute node associated with a database deployment on MySQL Cloud Service is listed on the MySQL Cloud Service Overview page. For instructions to display this page, see Viewing Detailed Information for a MySQL Server Deployment.
The SSH private key file that matches the public key associated with the deployment. This private key file must of the PuTTY .ppk format. If the private key file was originally created on the Linux platform, you can use the PuTTYgen program to convert it to the .ppk format.
