Configure an Allowlist for Your Instance

Make sure you have all the necessary information for the resources you need to add to your allowlist. See Prerequisites for Configuring an Allowlist.
To configure an allowlist for your instance, perform the following steps:
  1. In the Oracle Cloud Console, open the navigation menu and click Developer Services, then, under Application Integration, click Integration.
  2. Open the Oracle Integration instance for which you want to configure the allowlist.
    If you don't see the instance you're looking for, make sure you're viewing the correct region (in the banner) and compartment (at the top of the instance list, next to Applied filters).
  3. On the Integration instance details page, in the tabs across the top, click Networking.
  4. Under Network Access, click Edit.
    One of the following dialogs is displayed:
    • If your organization has enabled File Server but hasn't created its allowlist yet, the Apply HTTP Settings to File Server dialog is displayed.
    • Otherwise, the Edit network access dialog is displayed. You can skip to step 6.
  5. If the Apply HTTP Settings to File Server dialog is displayed, decide whether to apply your organization's HTTP allowlist rules to File Server. Applying your HTTP rules to File Server can save you some time when setting up your allowlist for File Server. Click Apply to carry the rules over to File Server, or click Ignore to skip this step.
    The Edit network access dialog is displayed.
  6. In the Edit network access dialog, make sure Restrict network access is selected so that you can add and apply allowlist rules.

    When this option is selected, only users from networks that meet the configured settings are allowed to access your Oracle Integration instance.

    If you don't select this option, or if you select this option and don't configure any allowlist rules, there are no network restrictions to access your instance.

    Caution:

    If you deselect Restrict network access after configuring allowlist rules, all configured allowlist rules are deleted.
  7. Select Enable loopback.
    You must enable loopback so that Oracle Integration can call itself. For example:
    • To invoke an Oracle Integration API from within an integration. Use a REST connection to call the API.
    • To call your integration from another Oracle Integration instance.

    This setting doesn't apply to File Server.

    Note:

    Enabling loopback allows any Oracle Integration instance in your region to call your instance.
  8. If necessary, add a rule. If you haven't previously added rules, you see a blank rule. If you already have rules, click Add rule, located below the last rule in the list. You might need to scroll down to see the button.
  9. Configure a rule by specifying the following information:
    • Protocol
      Select the protocol to which the rule applies:
      • HTTP and File Server
      • HTTP
      • File Server
    • Type

      If you selected File Server or HTTP and File Server, the only type is IP address/CIDR block, so you don't select a type.

      If you selected HTTP, select what you want to allowlist:

      • IP address/CIDR block
      • Virtual cloud network
      • Virtual cloud network OCID
    • Value
      Enter or select the specific IP address, CIDR block, VCN, or VCN OCID.
      • In the IP address/CIDR block box, enter a single IP address or the first IP address in a CIDR block (an IP address range).
      • In the Virtual cloud network drop-down list, choose a VCN. To select a VCN in another compartment, click Change compartment, and select a compartment.
      • In the Virtual cloud network OCID box, enter the Oracle Cloud ID (OCID) of the VCN. For information about the OCID format, see Resource Identifiers.
    • Secondary value

      If you selected a VCN or VCN OCID, you can restrict access further by specifying an IP address or CIDR block within the VCN. In the IP address/CIDR block box, enter a single IP address or the first IP address in a CIDR block (an IP address range).

  10. To add another rule, click Add rule.
    You can have up to 15 rules for HTTPS connections to Oracle Integration and up to 15 rules for File Server.
  11. After adding all the desired rules to the allowlist, click Save.
    The work request is submitted and the changes go into effect when the instance status changes to Active.
