To extract Oracle Cloud Object Storage metadata, you need to perform Simple or ConfigFile Authentication.
Simple Authentication is an API key-based authentication. You provide the authentication details in the Oracle Cloud Object Storage connection. You must place the private key file in the Secure Agent machine.
You need the following information to perform Simple Authentication:
•Tenancy
•User
•Fingerprint
•Private key location
Note:
Place the private key in the runtime environment you use.
•Valid bucket name
•Region
Note:
The region is populated by default.
ConfigFile authentication is based on the profile selected in a configuration file. For example:
By default, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI configuration file is located at ~/.oci/config. The ~/.oci/config file can contain multiple profiles. The default profile name is DEFAULT. You can change the default profile name to a new profile name based on the profiles that you add to the ~/.oci/config file. The ~/.oci/config file cannot contain two profiles with the same name.
You need the following information to perform ConfigFile Authentication:
•The configuration file location
Note:
The file needs to contain user, tenancy, fingerprint, and the private key location present in the runtime environment.
