Authentication

Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud Service uses a certificate authority (CA) certificate, issued by Verisign, to enable clients to connect securely to the server.

Note:

Ensure that you have the appropriate login credentials for creating, managing, and deleting Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud Service instances.

You access the Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud Service REST resources over HTTPS and you must provide the following information for authentication:

• An SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate.

• User name and password for your Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud Service account.

• A custom header, X-ID-TENANT-NAME, that identifies the Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud Service identity domain for this user. This identity domain is typically also part of the endpoint URL..

For example, to authenticate using cURL:

• Use the -u option to set the user name and password, which cURL uses to create the Authorization header.

• Use the -H option to set the X-ID-TENANT-NAME custom request header.

• When running cURL from a Windows command shell only, set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. Alternatively, you can specify the location of your local CA certificate bundle on the command line, using the --cacert command line option.

  You can download an SSL CA certificate bundle from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html or provide your own. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html.

The following provides an example cURL command:

curl -i -X GET -u <username>:<password> -H <request-header>:<value> https://<subdomain>.<domain>.com:<port>/<resource-path>
