Prev Next

Create a Britive service user and credentials

  1. Log in to the Oracle Cloud Console with administrator privileges. 
  2. Click Identity & Security from the navigation menu.
  3. Click Domains from the Identity section.
  4. Select the root compartment in the navigation if it is not already selected.
  5. Click Default domain.
  6. Select the User management tab.
  7. Click Create to create a new user. For more information about creating a user, see Oracle documentation->Creating a User.
  8. Enter the following on the Create User page:
    1. Enter First name (Optional) and Last name. In Last name, enter the name of the user—for example, BritiveUser. There should not be any spaces in the name; only numerals and special characters (such as underscore, hyphens, periods, *, and @) are allowed.
    2. Enter Username/Email (for the email of the user). Select Use the email address as the username, if required.
    3. Click Create. The new user details are displayed.
  9. Copy the OCID from the User information section. This is required for onboarding the Oracle Cloud application in Britive.
  10. Add the API Keys in the newly created user configuration from the API keys tab.
  11. Click the Add API key. The Add API Key window is displayed.
  12. In the Add API key window, you can add the API key in three different ways:
    • Generate API key pair: The API key pair is automatically generated.
    • Choose public key file: If you intend to upload a public key file that you have generated, you can select this option.
    • Paste a public key: You can directly paste the content of the public key file that you have generated.
    • Alternatively, you can also download the private key and public key directly from the Add API key window.
      Note:
      You need to upload the public key in Oracle Cloud. The private key is required for the Britive configuration. 
  13. To add the API key pair, click Add. The Configuration file preview is displayed.
  14. Click Close. The Fingerprint is displayed under the API keys section.
  15. Copy the Fingerprint of the public key.

Grant Domain Role to the Britive service user

  1. Add the user to the IdentityDomainAdministrator role, under Domains->Default Domain->Administrators.
  2. The previous step must be repeated for each domain that is to be onboarded to the Britive tenant.
