  2. (Optional) Create X.509 certificate.
    You can create a X.509 certificate for the Oracle Virtual Cloud Network spoke or use the certificate created for the Oracle Cloud IAM spoke. For information about creating a X.509 certificate, see Create X.509 certificate for the Oracle Cloud IAM spoke.
  3. Create credential record for the Oracle Virtual Cloud Network spoke.
    1. Navigate to Connections & Credentials > Credentials.
    2. Click New.
      The system displays this message: What type of Credentials would you like to create?
    3. Select OCI SHA256WithRSA Signature.

      Note: You can specify details of the certificates you created specifically for the Oracle Virtual Cloud Network spoke or specify details of the existing certificates you had created for the Oracle Cloud IAM spoke.
      Table 1. OCI SHA256WithRSA Signature Credentials form
      FieldDescription
      Name Name to uniquely identify the record. For example, Oracle Virtual Cloud Network Cred.
      Certificate Sys ID Sys ID of the Signing Certificate.
      Alias Alias of the KeyStore.
      Alias Password Alias password of the KeyStore.
      Key ID Key ID helps identify which key is used when multiple keys are used to sign tokens. The Key ID must be slash (/) separated values of Tenancy OCID, User OCID, and Fingerprint in this format: ocid1.tenancy.oc1..<unique_ID>/ocid1.user.oc1..<unique_ID>/<key_fingerprint>.
      Applies to Option to specify if the credential applies to all MID Servers in the network.
      Active Option to actively use the credential record.
      Authentication Algorithm Custom authentication algorithm for outbound signing requests. Select OCI SHA256RSA Signing Algorithm
