Security for Robots

Understand how to secure robots and their credentials.

Sign in to Applications with Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Some web applications require multifactor authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication (2FA). MFA requires users to verify their identify in multiple ways. Robots frequently encounter difficulties progressing beyond MFA authentication.

Here's the recommended approach:

  • When an application requires MFA, use a service account for the robot.

    A service account is used only by applications and automated processes.

  • Disable MFA for the service account.

Store Application Credentials

A robot requires credentials to access an application, and you need to store the credentials in a safe location.

The recommended approach is to store the credentials using a security service, such as OCI Vault. See Use Vault Secret Credentials with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vault in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
