In order to use the S3 front-end protocol, first configure the Gateway as described in Gateway Configuration and then perform these additional steps:

  1. Verify

    that your

  2. Edit the gateway.cfg file for S3 use:

    1. In the [s3] section, enable the S3 front-end protocol.

    2. In the [storage_cluster] section, define indexerHosts for at least one indexer server.

  3. Create one or more authentication tokens for each S3 client.
