16.9.2 Defining OCI Web Credential for REST APIs

Create an OCI Native Authentication web credential to call object bucket REST APIs.

Assume in your OCI tenancy you have:

• configured an object bucket named companion-bucket
• identified a user with privileges to manage the bucket, and
• created an API Key for that user to access OCI REST APIs.

To use the REST APIs for an object bucket or other OCI services, start by creating a Web Credential. In Workspace Utilities, on the Web Credentials list page, create a new one of type OCI Native Authentication as shown below. In this example, it's named OCI Object Bucket and has a Static ID of oci_object_bucket. You use this Static ID in PL/SQL calls to work with the bucket.

Fill in all web credential details including:

• OCI User ID – Oracle Cloud ID (OCID) for the user with privileges to manage the bucket
• OCI Private Key – Contents of the .pem file you downloaded when creating the API Key
• OCI Public Key Fingerprint – Additional security info provided at the time of API Key creation

Optionally, enter a base URL to limit the use of this credential to object buckets in the x1y2z3a4b5c6 namespace using a string like the following in Valid for URLs:

https://objectstorage.eu-frankfurt-1.oraclecloud.com/n/x1y2z3a4b5c6/b/

The figure shows the Web Credentials Create/Edit dialog in App Builder with all details required to create a new OCI Native Authentication Web Credential named OCI Object Bucket.
