7 <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> uses a <i>cloud profile</i> to connect to <ph
8 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. A cloud profile is a text file that contains details of your key files
9 and Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) resource identifiers for your cloud account, such as the following: </p>
10 <ul>
11 <li>
12 <p><b outputclass="bold">Fingerprint of the public
13 key.</b> To obtain the fingerprint, you can use the
14 <userinput>openssl</userinput> command:
15 </p>
16 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ openssl rsa -pubout -outform DER -in ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem | openssl md5 -c</pre>
17 </li>
18 <li>
19 <p><b outputclass="bold">Location of the private key on the
20 client device.</b> Specify the full path to the
21 private key.
22 </p>
23 </li>
24 <li>
25 <p><b outputclass="bold">(Optional) Passphrase for the private
26 key.</b> This is only required if the key is
27 encrypted.
28 </p>
29 </li>
30 <li>
31 <p><b outputclass="bold">Region</b>. Shown on the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>
32 Console. Click

38 <p><b outputclass="bold">Tenancy OCID.</b> Shown on the
39 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> Console. Click
40 <b outputclass="bold">Administration</b>,
41 <b outputclass="bold">Tenancy Details</b>.
42 </p>
43 <p>

51 <b outputclass="bold">Compartments</b>.
52 </p>
53 <p>
54 A link enables you to copy the Compartment OCID.
55 </p>
56 </li>

63 <p>
64 A link enables you to copy the User OCID.

66 </li>
67 </ul>
68 <p>
69 You can create a cloud profile in the following ways:
70 </p>
71 <ul>
72 <li>
73 <p>Automatically, by using the <b outputclass="bold">Cloud Profile Manager</b>. See <xref href="cloud-using-cloud-profile-manager.dita"/>.</p>
74 <p>The Cloud Profile Manager is a <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> tool that enables you to
75 create, edit, and manage cloud profiles for your cloud service accounts. </p>
76 </li>
77 <li>
78 <p>Automatically, by using the <userinput>VBoxManage cloudprofile</userinput> command. See <xref href="../cli_topics/vboxmanage-cloudprofile.dita"/>. </p>
79 </li>
80 <li>
81 <p>Manually, by creating an <filepath>oci_config</filepath> file in your <ph
82 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> global configuration directory. For example, this is
83 <filepath>$HOME/.config/VirtualBox/oci_config</filepath> on a Linux host. </p>
84 </li>
85 <li>
86 <p>Manually, by creating a <filepath>config</filepath> file in your <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>
87 configuration directory. For example, this is <filepath>$HOME/.oci/config</filepath> on a Linux host. </p>
88 <p>This is the same file that is used by the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> command line
89 interface. </p>
90 <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> automatically uses the <filepath>config</filepath> file
91 if no cloud profile file is present in your global configuration directory. Alternatively, you can import this
92 file manually into the Cloud Profile Manager. </p>
93 </li>
94 </ul>
