Connect to Oracle Cloud Object Storage

Let's configure the Oracle Cloud Object Storage connection properties to connect to Oracle Cloud Object Storage.

Before you begin

Before you get started, configure the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure policies and get the required information from your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account based on the authentication type that you want to configure.
Check out Prerequisites to learn more about these tasks.

Connection details

When you create an Oracle Cloud Object Storage connection, configure the connection properties.
The following table describes the basic connection properties:
Property
Description
Connection Name
Name of the connection.
Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,
Maximum length is 255 characters.
Description
Description of the connection. Maximum length is 4000 characters.
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication and the Data Access Management services.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note: If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
Select a Secure Agent or elastic runtime environment.
For more information about how to configure and use the runtime environments, see Runtime environments.
For database ingestion and replication tasks, you can use the Secure Agent or serverless runtime environment. You can't run tasks on a Hosted Agent or elastic runtime environment.

Authentication types

You can configure ConfigFile or simple authentication to connect to Oracle Cloud Object Storage. Select the required authentication type and then configure the authentication-specific parameters.
Default is ConfigFile Authentication.
