Create a Security Association

post

/secassociation/

Adds an instance to a security list.

Caution: When you add an instance to a security list, all the security rules that use that security list-as either the source or destination-are applicable to the instance. Consider a security list that is the destination in two security rules, one rule that allows SSH access from the public Internet and another rule permitting HTTPS traffic from the public Internet. When you add an instance to this security list, the instance is accessible from the public Internet over both SSH and HTTPS. Keep this in mind when you decide the security lists that you want to add an instance to.

Required Role: To complete this task, you must have the Compute_Operations role. If this role isn't assigned to you or you're not sure, then ask your system administrator to ensure that the role is assigned to you in Oracle Cloud My Services. See Modifying User Roles in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.

Examples

cURL Command

The following example shows how to add a security association by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL.

Enter the command on a single line. Line breaks are used in this example for readability.

curl -i -X POST
     -H "Cookie: $COMPUTE_COOKIE"
     -H "Content-Type: application/oracle-compute-v3+json"
     -H "Accept: application/oracle-compute-v3+json"
     -d "@requestbody.json"
        https://api-z999.compute.us0.oraclecloud.com/secassociation/

  • COMPUTE_COOKIE is the name of the variable in which you stored the authentication cookie earlier. For information about retrieving the authentication cookie and storing it in a variable, see Authentication.

  • api-z999.compute.us0.oraclecloud.com is an example REST endpoint URL. Change this value to the REST endpoint URL of your Compute Classic site. For information about finding out REST endpoint URL for your site, see Send Requests.
