Get the Required OCI Input Values

Every OCI resource has a unique Oracle-assigned ID called an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID). You'll need and use this information (and more) to set up the OCI connection in VB Studio.

To connect to OCI, you need the account's tenancy OCID, home region, the OCID of the compartment that hosts VB Studio resources, and the OCID and the fingerprint of the user who can access the VB Studio compartment. To connect to OCI Object Storage, you need the Storage namespace. You can get these values from the OCI Console pages.

This table describes how to get the OCI input values required for the connection.

To get these values ... Do this:
Tenancy OCID, Home Region, and Storage Namespace
  1. Open the OCI console and in the navigation menu, select Governance & Administration.
  2. Under Account Management, select Tenancy Details.

    The Tenancy Information tab displays the tenancy details in these fields:

    • OCID: tenancy OCID
    • Home Region: home region
    • Object Storage Namespace: storage namespace
User OCID and fingerprint
  1. Open the OCI console and, in the navigation menu, select Identity & Security.
  2. Under Identity, select Users.
  3. On the Users page, click the user's name.
    • The User Information tab displays the user OCID in the OCID field. Click the Copy link to copy the OCID to the clipboard.
    • To get the fingerprint of the public key that's associated with your OCI account, scroll down to Resources, select API Keys, and copy the fingerprint value.
Compartment OCID
  1. Open the OCI console and, in the navigation menu, select Identity & Security.
  2. Under Identity, select Compartments.
  3. On the Compartments page, click the compartment's name.

    The Compartment Information tab displays the compartment's OCID in the OCID field.

  4. Click the Copy link to copy the compartment's OCID to the clipboard.
