Use Identity and Access Management (IAM) Authentication with Autonomous Database

You can configure Autonomous Database to use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication and authorization to allow IAM users to access an Autonomous Database with IAM credentials.

Note:

Autonomous Database integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM is supported in commercial regions with identity domains as well as in the legacy IAM, which does not include identity domains. IAM with identity domains was introduced with new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancies that were created after November 8, 2021. Autonomous Database supports users and groups in default and non-default identity domains.

• Add IAM Users on Autonomous Database
  To add IAM users to allow access to Autonomous Database, map database global users to IAM groups or users with CREATE USER or ALTER USER statements (with IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY AS clause).
• Add IAM Roles on Autonomous Database
  Optionally, create global roles to provide additional database roles and privileges to IAM users when multiple IAM users are mapped to the same shared global user.
• Create IAM Database Password for IAM Users
  To add an IAM user and allow the IAM user to login to Autonomous Database by supplying a username and password, you must create an IAM database password.
• Connect to Autonomous Database with Identity and Access Management (IAM) Authentication
  After the ADMIN user enables Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM on Autonomous Database, users log in to the Autonomous Database instance using their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM credentials or access the database through an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM database token.
• Configure IAM Proxy Authentication
  Proxy authentication allows an IAM user to proxy to a database schema for tasks such as application maintenance.
