# Onboard Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Follow the OCI onboarding wizard, and Cortex creates a custom authentication template to be executed in OCI.

Use the cloud onboarding wizard to integrate an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environment with Cortex XSIAM. The onboarding wizard requires minimal configuration to set up the integration. OCI onboarding operates at the tenancy (organization) scope and uses Cortex XSIAM-managed scanning. Optionally, configure the advanced settings to enable additional security capabilities such as agentless disk scanning and registry scanning, or to refine the compartment scope.

Cortex XSIAM generates a Terraform authentication template based on the configuration settings. The authentication template creates an IAM policy, an IAM group, and supporting identity resources in your OCI tenancy that grant Cortex XSIAM the required permissions. Execute the authentication template in OCI to complete the onboarding process. Executing the authentication template notifies Cortex XSIAM of the execution details. Cortex XSIAM then creates a new cloud instance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/configure-cortex-xsiam/cortex-xsiam-data-sources/cloud-service-provider-csp-onboarding/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-cloud-onboarding/onboard-oracle-cloud-infrastructure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
