4. Copy additional information

Now you see some additional information that you need to keep open or copy to a text file. You will need the Tenancy, User ID, Fingerprint and the Region for the next step.

Create APEX Web Credential

Log-in to the APEX Workspace that is associated with the schema where UC AI is installed.

1. Open Web Credentials

From the top navigation menu select App Builder > Workspace Utilities > All Workspace Utilities.

Click the Web Credentials link.

2. Create new Web Credential

Click Create.

Select the Authentication Type: OCI Native Authentication.

Give the Web Credential a Name and Static ID, I recommend that both match.

Copy the OCI User ID, OCI Tenancy ID, OCI Public Key Fingerprint from the “Configuration file preview” screen in the Oracle Cloud interface in the previous step.

Open your downloaded private key file in a text editor (*.pem file). Only copy the secret with the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- lines.

Click Create to save the Web Credential.

You can now reference it via the Static ID you entered.
