Manage Credentials or Configure Policies and Roles to Access Resources

Describes the methods in which Autonomous AI Database connects to other resources, either with credentials, or by configuring policies and roles for access.

• Manage Credentials
  You can create credentials, list credentials, or delete credentials in your Autonomous AI Database.
• Use Vault Secret Credentials
  Describes using vault secret credentials, where the credentials secret (password) is stored as a secret in a vault. You can then use vault secret credentials to access cloud resources or to access other databases (use anywhere that username/password type credentials are required).
• Configure Policies and Roles to Access Resources
  You may use the following methods to access cloud resources securely without storing user credentials: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resource Principals, AWS Amazon Resource Names (ARN)s, Azure service principal, or Google service accounts.
