Updating the Password for Backing Up to Cloud Storage

Whenever the password is changed for an Oracle Cloud user whose credentials are used for backing up to an Oracle Storage Cloud container, you need to update the user’s password in the corresponding backup configuration.

Because Oracle Cloud requires users to change their passwords on a regular basis, you need to perform this task regularly.

You can update the password by using the Oracle Database Cloud Service console or, if desired, by using one of the ways listed in Other Ways to Update the Password at the end of this topic.
