Obtain Account Information

From your Oracle Cloud account administrator, obtain credentials that have the appropriate rights to create the desired cloud resource in your stack.

You must have a valid Oracle Cloud account with subscriptions to the cloud services that you plan to provision as part of your cloud stacks. However, you do not have to explicitly request or purchase a subscription to Oracle Cloud Stack Manager tself in order to use it. For example, if your cloud stack creates a storage container in Oracle Storage Cloud Service as well as an instance of Oracle Java Cloud Service, the account credentials you use with Oracle Cloud Stack Manager must have rights to both Oracle Storage Cloud Service and Oracle Java Cloud Service.

Specifically, you will need:

• User name and password

• Identity domain ID

  If your account administrator has changed the identity domain name, you must still specify the identity domain ID when using the REST API. For example, if the original identity domain name was MyIdentityDomain54321 and it was changed to MyIdentityDomain, you must use MyIdentityDomain54321 in the REST endpoints.

  On accounts that are integrated with Oracle Identity Cloud Service, you must use the Identity Cloud Service tenant name in the REST endpoints. This tenant name begins with the characters idcs- and is followed by a string of number and letters (for example, idcs-98888f7964454b658ac6d2f625b29030).
