Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Associate — Question 26

Which statement is true regarding database client credentials file required to connect to your Autonomous Database?

Answer options

• A. Place the credential files on a share drive that all users can use to connect to the database.
• B. The Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet can be used for your client credentials to connect to your database.
• C. Store credential files in a secure location and share the files only with authorized users to prevent unauthorized access to the database.
• D. When you share the credential files with authorized users, mail the wallet password and the file in the same email.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it emphasizes the importance of security by suggesting that credential files should be stored safely and shared only with authorized individuals. Option A is incorrect as sharing files on a public drive increases security risks. Option B is misleading since the TDE wallet is not specifically meant for client credentials. Option D is also incorrect as sending the wallet password in the same email as the credential files compromises security.
