About SSH Keys

In order to access an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace virtual machine (VM) with a secure shell (SSH) client, you must create a public/private key pair and configure the service instance with the public key.

When you create an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance, you are prompted to supply the public key. To connect to a VM in an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance, you supply the paired private key when logging in to the machine using an SSH client.

You can provide an existing public key that you previously created with an external tool, or Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace can create a new key pair for you.

You may also use the same SSH public/private key pair that you used for creating an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database deployment.
