Connecting to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

The following steps assume that you are connecting to an autonomous database instance that has been created. For more information about creating an autonomous database instance, see Getting Started and Provisioning Autonomous Transaction Processing.

To connect to an Oracle Autonomous Database:

  1. Sign in from https://cloud.oracle.com.

  2. In Cloud Account Name, enter your cloud account name and click Next.

  3. On the Oracle Cloud Account Sign In page, enter your user name in User Name and password in Password and then click Sign In.

  8. On the Data Connections page, specify the client credentials and connection information to connect to your database by selecting the wallet type.

    A wallet is a password-protected container that stores authentication and signing credentials, including private keys, certificates, and trusted certificates, all of which are used by SSL for strong authentication.

    Available wallet types:

    • Instance Wallet: Wallet for a single database only; this provides a database-specific wallet.

    • Regional Wallet: Wallet for all Autonomous Databases for a given tenant and region (this includes all service instances that a cloud account owns).

    Note:

    Oracle recommends you provide a database-specific wallet using Instance Wallet, to end users and for application use whenever possible. Regional wallets should only be used for administrative purposes that require potential access to all Autonomous Databases within a region.

  9. Click Download Wallet.

  10. In the Download Wallet dialog, enter a wallet password in the Password field and confirm the password in the Confirm Password field.

    You are prompted to provide a password to encrypt the keys inside the wallet. The password must be at least 8 characters long and must include at least 1 letter and either 1 numeric character or 1 special character. This password protects the downloaded Client Credentials wallet.

    Image shows the Download Wallet page.

  11. Click Download to save the client security credentials zip file.

    By default the filename is: Wallet_databasename.zip. You can save this file as any filename and to any local folder.

  12. Click Close.
