Question 1
SIMULATION
Task 5: Create a Certificate
Create a certificate, where:
Certificate name: PBT-CERT-01-
For example, if your username is 99008677-lab.user01, then the certificate name should be PBT-CERT-01990086771abuser01
Ensure you eliminate special characters from the user name.
Common name: PBT-CERT-OCICERT-01
Certificate Authority: PBT-CERT-CA-01 (created in the previous task)
Since I can't create resources or retrieve OCIDs directly in your OCI environment, I'll provide a step-by-step solution based on verified OCI documentation and best practices as of 02:30 PM BST on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Follow these instructions precisely in the OCI Console or CLI, using the preconfigured PBI_Vault_SP vault and the PBT-CERT-CA-01<username> Certificate Authority created in the previous task. Replace <username> with your actual username (e.g., 99008677-lab.user01), ensuring special characters are removed.
Task 5: Create a Certificate
Step 1: Access the OCI Vault
Log in to the OCI Console.
Navigate to Identity & Security > Vault.
Select the root compartment.
Locate and click on the vault named PBI_Vault_SP.
Step 2: Create the Certificate
In the PBI_Vault_SP vault details page, under Resources, click Certificates.
Click Create Certificate.
Enter the following details:
Name: Replace <username> with your username (e.g., if your username is 99008677-lab.user01, remove special characters like - and . to get 99008677labuser01, then use PBT-CERT-0199008677labuser01).
Common Name: Enter PBT-CERT-OCICERT-01.
Certificate Authority: Select the PBT-CERT-CA-01<username> CA created in Task 4 (e.g., PBT-CERT-CA-0199008677labuser01).
Subject: Leave as default or adjust (e.g., Organization, Country) if required.
Validity Period: Set as needed (e.g., 1 year), or use the default.
Compartment: Ensure it's set to the root compartment.
Click Create Certificate and wait for the certificate to be issued.
Step 3: Verify the Certificate
After creation, go to the Certificates section under PBI_Vault_SP.
Confirm the certificate PBT-CERT-01<username> (e.g., PBT-CERT-0199008677labuser01) is listed and its status is active.
