Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 101

You are asked to create a user that will access programmatic endpoints in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The user must not be allowed to authenticate by username and password.
Which two authentication options can you use? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. PEM Certificate file
• B. Auth tokens
• C. API signing key
• D. Windows password
• E. SSH key pair

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Auth tokens (B) and API signing keys (C) are both valid authentication methods for programmatic access in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure without using a username and password. The other options, such as Windows password (D) and PEM Certificate file (A), do not meet the requirement of not using username and password, while SSH key pair (E) is used for different access purposes.
