If you want to create multiple Oracle Content Management instances in separate environments, you need to create a secondary identity domain before you create those additional Oracle Content Management instances.

You might want to create multiple Oracle Content Management instances in separate environments to accommodate different identity and security requirements (for example, one environment for development and one for production). You can accomplish this by creating multiple identity domains. By having separate identity domains, the users who work in one environment won't impact the work of users in another environment. Using multiple instances can also help you maintain the isolation of administrative control over each environment. This is necessary if, for example, your security standards prevent development user IDs from existing in the production environment, or require that different administrators have control over different environments. When multiple instances are utilized, you'll have a primary instance, the instance which comes with your Oracle Cloud account, and one or more secondary (additional) instances.

To create an Oracle Content Management instance in a secondary identity domain, perform these preliminary steps before you create the Oracle Content Management instance:

1. Navigate to the Domains page:
   • If you're already in the Identity & Security area of the Oracle Cloud Console, in the navigation menu on the left, click Domains.
   • If you're not already in the Oracle Cloud Console:
     1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud as the cloud account administrator. You can find your account name and login information in your welcome email.
     2. In the Oracle Cloud Console, click , click Identity & Security, then, under Identity, click Domains.
2. Click Create domain, and configure the domain. See Creating Identity Domains.
3. Create a policy to allow the Domain_Administrators group to create and manage Oracle Content Management instances in the new domain.
   1. On the left, under Identity, click Policies.
   2. Click Create Policy.
   3. Enter a name and description. For example, you might name the policy Tenant_Admin_Policy_for_SecondaryDomain_Domain, where SecondaryDomain is the name of your new domain.
   4. Next to Policy Builder, click Show manual editor.
   5. In the box, enter the following statement, replacing SecondaryDomain with the name of your new domain:

      Allow group SecondaryDomain/Domain_Administrators to manage all-resources in tenancy

   6. Click Create.
4. You must be signed in to the new domain before you create your Oracle Content Management instance, so sign out of Oracle Cloud, then sign in again, making sure to select the new domain.

What to Do Next

After signing in to your new domain, perform any other necessary advanced pre-deployment tasks or skip right to creating your instance in the secondary domain:

• Delegate creation of Oracle Content Management instances to other users.
• Create your instance in another region to use services available in other data centers.
• Create a private instance to ensure access is limited to internal networks and that end users have the best and most reliable connection possible.
• Create your Oracle Content Management instance in the new domain.
