Downloading Autonomous Database credentials (client wallet) is necessary for secure connections. The two correct actions are:
Find the service console for your Autonomous Database, then pick administration, then download the credential wallet (B):In the OCI console, navigate to the Autonomous Database service console (e.g., via the “Database” section). Select your ADB instance, go to the “Administration” tab, and click “Download Client Credentials (Wallet).” You’ll set a password and download a ZIP file containing files like tnsnames.ora and certificates. This method is straightforward for DBAs managing the instance directly from its service page.
Click on the Autonomous Database in the menu, click a database name, then choose DB Connection button, then download the wallet (D):From the OCI console’s main navigation, go to “Autonomous Database,” select your database by name, and click the “DB Connection” button on the details page. Then, select “Download Wallet,” provide a password, and download the ZIP file. This is a common path for users accessing connectivity details directly from the database overview.
The incorrect options are:
Click the compute section of the menu, then choose instance configurations, then download wallet (A):The “Compute” section is for virtual machines, not databases. Credentials are tied to the ADB service, not compute instances.
Click on the Object Storage and find your Autonomous bucket and download the wallet credentials (C):Object Storage holds user data or backups, not the wallet credentials, which are generated and downloaded from the ADB service interface.
Both B and D provide secure access to the wallet for tools like SQL Developer.
