ONTAP 9.13

to Japanese version

Create an S3 user

User authorization is required on all ONTAP object stores in order to restrict connectivity to authorized clients.

Before you begin.

An S3-enabled storage VM must already exist.

About this task

An S3 user can be granted access to any bucket in a storage VM. When you create an S3 user, an access key and a secret key are also generated for the user. They should be shared with the user along with the FQDN of the object store and bucket name. An S3 users' keys can be viewed with the vserver object-store-server user show command.

You can grant specific access permissions to S3 users in a bucket policy or an object server policy.

When you create a new object store server, ONTAP creates a root user (UID 0), which is a privileged user with access to all buckets. Rather than administering ONTAP S3 as the root user, Fujitsu recommends that an admin user role be created with specific privileges.

CLI
  1. Create an S3 user:
    vserver object-store-server user create -vserver svm_name -user user_name -comment [-comment text] -key-time-to-live time

    • Adding a comment is optional.

  2. Be sure to save the access key and secret key. They will be required for access from S3 clients.

ONTAP System Manager
  1. Edit the storage VM: click Storage > storage VMs, click the storage VM, click Settings and then click pencil icon under S3.

  2. Add a user, click Users, then click Add.

  3. Enter a name for the user.

  4. Click Save. The user is created, and an access key and a secret key are generated for the user.

  5. Download or save the access key and secret key. They will be required for access from S3 clients.
