Follow these steps to create a Key Store to connect to an on-premises encryption key appliance such as Oracle Key Vault (OKV).

1. Go to Autonomous Database in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

   For instructions, see Access Dedicated Autonomous Database in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

2. Choose your Compartment.

3. Click Key Stores. Key Stores page displays the list name of key stores, the number of databases associated with each database, and the date on which each key store was created.

4. Click Create Key Store.

5. In the Create Key Store dialog, enter the following general information:

   1. Name your key store: A user-friendly description or other information that helps you easily identify the Key Store resource. Avoid entering confidential information.
   2. Oracle Key Vault connection settings:
      1. Connection IP addresses: Enter at least one OKV cluster node IP address; multiple comma-separated IP addresses (of the same OKV cluster) are possible, for example, 193.10.20.1, 193.10.20.2.
      2. Administrator username: Enter the user name of the okv_rest_user.
      3. Administrator Password Secret: The administrator password is stored with the secret management service within OCI. Select the OCI Vault in your tenancy that contains okv_rest_user password stored as Secret.
   3. Tags: Optionally, you can apply tags. If you have permission to create a resource, you also have permission to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permission to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Tag Autonomous Database Cloud Resources. If you are not sure if you should apply tags, skip this option (you can apply tags later) or ask your administrator. Avoid entering confidential information.
