To register an Oracle database instance

The Oracle database user is required to have a certain level of credentials. The Oracle database user must have

privileges (based on version of Oracle). - In the Instance credentials area, select one of the following authentication options:
Oracle Wallet
OS authentication only
Oracle authentication only
Oracle and OS authentication
If you use the Oracle authentication only option you must enter specific Oracle credentials. You may need to contact the Oracle DBA for the correct credentials. The system tries to validate the credentials and reports its findings
- (Optional) Click Oracle RMAN recovery catalog credentials to enter credentials for the RMAN recovery catalog.
- Click Finish to save the credentials.
- Review the Registered column to see that the instance is now registered.
