Obtain the Autonomous Database Client Credentials

Learn how to establish connection to your Autonomous Databases.

To establish a connection with an Oracle Autonomous Database instance, you need to download the client credentials files. There are two ways to download the client credentials files: the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or Database Actions Launchpad. See Downloading Client Credentials (Wallets).

Note:

If you do not have administrator access to the Oracle Autonomous Database, you should ask your service administrator to download and provide the credentials files to you.

The following steps use the Database Actions Launchpad to download the client credentials files.

  1. Log into your Autonomous Database account.

  2. From the Database Instance page, click Database Actions. This launches the Database Actions Launchpad. The Launchpad attempts to log you into the database as ADMIN. If that is not successful, you will be prompted for your database ADMIN username and password.

  3. On the Database Actions Launchpad, under Administration, click Download Client Credentials (Wallets).

  4. Enter a password to secure your Client Credentials zip file and click Download.

    Note:

    The password you provide when you download the wallet protects the downloaded Client Credentials wallet.
  5. Save the credentials ZIP file to your local system. The credentials ZIP file contains the following files:

  • cwallet.sso

  • ewallet.p12

  • keystore.jks

  • ojdbc.properties

  • sqlnet.ora

  • tnsnames.ora

  • truststore.jks

  • ewallet.pem

  • README.txt

Refer and update (if required) the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files while configuring Oracle GoldenGate to work with the Oracle Autonomous Database instance.
