Gathering Essential Information from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Infrastructure Provisioning

This section shows you how to gather essential Oracle Cloud Infrastructure information for the infrastructure provisioning user that will be running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Infrastructure Provisioning Console.

Worksheet Table - Details to Gather

This worksheet table lists the details you need to gather. For reference you can enter the details in the value column.
Detail Item Detail Value

User OCID

User SSH Key (PEM)

User API Key Fingerprint

Tenancy OCID

Region Name
Compartment OCID

Prerequisite

To perform the steps in this tutorial, you must have:

  • Created a Linux instance for the OpenTofu staging console by following the steps described in the previous section "Creating a Linux Instance for the OpenTofu Staging Server" in this Learning Path.

Locating the Generated Public Key for the Infrastructure Provisioning User

From the OpenTofu staging server, use this procedure to locate the generated public key (also called a PEM key) for the user that will be running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Infrastructure Provisioning Console. This user can be the current user or any user that you want. If the user does not exist, create a user by following the standard procedure described in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation for Create a User in Adding Users. Also refer to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation for additional details on: Managing User Credentials.

  1. Using PuTTY, connect to the OpenTofu staging server and run this command to generate the content of the key:

    cat /home/opc/keys/ociApiKeyPublic.pem

  2. Make a record of the output of the above command for use in a task in the next section "Adding the Public Key as an API Key for the Infrastructure Provisioning User".
Note: From Tools Release 9.2.4.1, the Infrastructure Provisioning Console does not prompt for any key.

Adding the Public Key as an API Key for the Infrastructure Provisioning User

Use this procedure to add the public key as an API key to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for the user that will be running the Infrastructure Provisioning Console.

  1. As the user for which you generated a public key in the preceding step, log in to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using the following URL for the tenancy in which you want to provisioning infrastructure:

    https://console..oraclecloud.com/#/a/" format="html

    For example:

    https://console.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/#/a/

  2. On the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, click the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.Navigation Menu—Identity > Users

  3. From the navigation menu, go to the Identity section and select Users.

  4. Click the link for the user which you have designated as the infrastructure provisioning user.Navigation Menu—User Details > API Keys > Add Public Key

  5. In the API Keys section, click the Add Public Key button.

  6. In the PUBLIC KEY section, copy and paste the public key that you received in the previous section "Adding the Public Key as an API Key for the Infrastructure Provisioning User".Add Public Key Dialog Box

  7. Click the Add button.

Note: Ensure that you copy the complete contents of the key including the BEGIN PUBLIC KEY and END PUBLIC KEY text.

Locating a Fingerprint for the Infrastructure Provisioning User

After you have added the public key for the infrastructure provisioning user, the system automatically generates a fingerprint for that user and displays it on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure interface. To locate and copy this fingerprint:

  1. Logged in as the infrastructure provisioning user, on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, click the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.Navigation Menu—Identity > Users
  2. From the navigation menu, go to the Identity section, and select Users.
  3. Click the link for the user which you have designated as the infrastructure provisioning user.
  4. Under Resources, in the API Keys section, locate the Fingerprint field.Navigation Menu—Identity > Users > User Details > API Keys > Fingerprint
  5. Make a record of the fingerprint for use as an input for a subsequent task in the section "Using the Infrastructure Provisioning Console" in this Learning Path.

Determining the OCID for the Infrastructure Provisioning User

Use this procedure to determine the OCID for the infrastructure provisioning user:

  1. Logged in as the infrastructure provisioning user, on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, click the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.Navigation Menu—Identity > Users
  2. From the navigation menu, go to the Identity section and select Users.
  3. Click the link for the user that you have designated as the infrastructure provisioning user.Navigation Menu—Identity > Users > Show
  4. Click the Show link to see the OCID of the selected user.
  5. Make a record of the OCID for use as an input for a subsequent task in the section "Using the Infrastructure Provisioning Console" in this Learning Path.

Locating the Tenancy OCID and Region for the Infrastructure Provisioning Compartment

Use this procedure to locate the tenancy OCID and region for the infrastructure provisioning compartment:

  1. Logged in as the infrastructure provisioning user, on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, click the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.
  2. From the navigation menu, go to the Administration section, and select Tenancy Information.Navigation Menu—Administration > Tenancy Information - Show
  3. Click the Show link to see the OCID of the selected tenancy.
  4. Make a record of the OCID for use as an input for a subsequent task in the section "Using the Infrastructure Provisioning Console" in this Learning Path.
  5. In the Tenancy Information section, also locate the region that will host the instances to be provisioned. Make a note of the region for use as an input for a subsequent task in the section "Using the Infrastructure Provisioning Console" in this Learning Path.

Locating the Compartment OCID for Infrastructure Provisioning

Use this procedure to locate the compartment OCID for infrastructure provisioning:

  1. Logged in as the infrastructure provisioning user, on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, click the navigation menu in the upper-left corner.Navigation Menu—Identity > Compartments
  2. From the navigation menu, go to the Identity section, and select the Compartments service.Compartment Link
  3. Click the link for the compartment that you have designated as the infrastructure provisioning compartment.Compartment—Show OCID
  4. Click the Show link to see the OCID of the selected compartment.
  5. Make a record of the OCID for use as an input for a subsequent task in the section "Using the Infrastructure Provisioning Console" in this Learning Path.
