Managing Oracle Vaults

This section describes how to manage Oracle vaults on CCKM. Before proceeding, a connection to your Oracle account must exist on the CipherTrust Manager. Refer to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for details.

After the connection is configured, you can add vaults to the CipherTrust Manager. Oracle vaults can be added, viewed, modified, or deleted on the Vaults tab of the Oracle Vaults page.

You can add existing vaults linked to an Oracle connection to the CipherTrust Manager. An existing vault can only be added just once.

To add an existing Oracle vault:

1. Open the Cloud Key Manager application.

2. In the left pane, click Containers > Oracle Vaults. The Vaults tab of the Oracle Vaults page is displayed.

3. Click Add Existing Vault. The Select Connection Information and Vaults screen of the Add Existing Vault wizard is displayed.

3. Click Add.

The selected vault is displayed on the Vaults tab of the Oracle Vaults page. Now, you can manage the vault from CCKM on the CipherTrust Manager.

The vault is available to upload Oracle keys and view Oracle reports.

The backup of Oracle keys is created only when the vaults are refreshed. The backup can only be created for keys that:

• Are stored in Virtual Private Vaults (VPVs)

• Are stored in vaults that have associated bucket credentials

• Have the HSM protection mode
