  • Docker or proxy use — Gateway can now be configured for use either within a Docker environment or behind a proxy. The Gateway configuration has two new settings available (externalHTTPPort, externalHTTPSPort) per protocol: [scsp] and [cluster_admin], the Service Proxy. They only take effect when X-Forwarded-Proto is found on the request; Gateway uses X-Forwarded-Proto to determine which port to use. (CLOUD-3055)

  • Metadata Translation — Gateway seamlessly moves custom metadata between SCSP and S3. It translates the metadata formatting between the protocols. It provides S3 and SCSP applications the ability to access each other's metadata. See Metadata Translation between SCSP and S3. (CLOUD-2919)

  • Quota stability — Quota implementation has been significantly hardened, resolving general problems with frozen usage status/data and excessive emails from state changes. (CLOUD-3045)

  • Fixed issues:

    • There were issues when enabling versioning or quotas through the Content UI. The fix prevents creation of duplicate (conflicting) domains in the storage cluster. (CLOUD-3019)

    • Updating certain Swarm configuration settings through the Gateway services proxy (port 91) sometimes required the sptid query argument value. (CLOUD-2999)

    • Gateway validates on startup that [storage_cluster] managementPassword is set whenever the ServiceProxy ([cluster_admin]) is enabled. (CLOUD-2617)

  • New in 5.4.1:

    • Content Gateway adds support so it can be used with Swarm UI 2.3. Note: 2.3 includes a new feed type, S3 Backup feed, which requires Swarm 11.

    • Several fixes were made related to S3 multipart uploads. (CLOUD-2994, CLOUD-3074)

Upgrade Impacts

  • Swarm Storage Requirements — Gateway 5.4 requires a minimum back-end storage cluster version of 9.6. The storage cluster must be upgraded prior to installing this version of Gateway.

    • Releases of Gateway 5.1.3 and earlier are not compatible with Storage versions 9.2 or higher. For historic compatibility details, refer to the releases included with those distributions.

  • RHEL/CentOS 6 Deprecation — Support for RHEL/CentOS 6 is removed in the near future. Completing the transition to RHEL/CentOS 7 now assures a smooth upgrade path to future Gateway versions.

  • Automatic service start must be re-enabled — After the upgrade, the service may not automatically start after a system reboot. To re-enable the service, run:
    "chkconfig --add cloudgateway" for RHEL/CentOS 6, or
    "systemctl enable cloudgateway" for RHEL/CentOS 7. (CLOUD-2819)

  • ExpanDrive — ExpanDrive users must upgrade to ExpanDrive 6.1.0 with this version of Gateway; earlier versions report 403 Signature errors when creating a folder or uploading a large object. (CLOUD-2746)

...

  • The gateway error log "Unable to create phone home data" at startup can be ignored. CLOUD 3051

  • The Gateway error "Failed reading from client" on a PUT due to "EofException: Early EOF" may occur when clients do not send the full body. This may point to a bug in the client's retry logic, such as not resetting the position marker to the beginning of the file or part. CLOUD-3010

  • During new object creation as part of renaming with ?newname, Gateway does not verify that the user has permission to create the new object name (although it is highly likely, because it is a write within the same context). CLOUD-2966

  • An s3cmd or rclone server-side copy request may time out on a multipart copy for >5GB objects (s4cmd performs it correctly). Workaround: After you verify it is not the HTTPS proxy timing out, increase the client timeout: set s3mcd socket_timeout = 600 in ~/.s3cfg or use rclone copy --timeout=10m --contimeout=2m caringo:mybucket/5gb caringo:mybucket/subfolder/. CLOUD-2949

  • Listings with max-keys may be shorter than expected because CommonPrefixes are included in the count of keys returned. CLOUD-2917

  • Uploading files / photos using Panic's Transmit app on iOS fails due to a 403 Invalid Signature error. CLOUD-2886

  • Gateway 5.2.2 and earlier do not output the NextMarker field in S3 listings, which can cause some S3 clients such as Caringo Drive, rclone, and Transmit to show only 1000 files in a directory or to miss some subdirectories. CLOUD-2871

  • Usernames are case-insensitive, but listings exclude a token if the username (myadmin) does not match the case used when the token was created (myAdmin). CLOUD-2837

  • Upgrade impact: After an upgrade from version 5.2.1 or earlier, the Gateway service does not automatically start after a system reboot. To re-enable the service, run "chkconfig --add cloudgateway" (RHEL 6) or "systemctl enable cloudgateway" (RHEL 7). CLOUD-2819

  • Multipart PUT requests via recent Cyberduck versions fail with 403 SignatureDoesNotMatch when using AWS Signature Version 4. Install the Caringo .cyberduckprofiles from Using the Cyberduck application with Content Gateway S3 which force V2 signatures. CLOUD-2799

  • If a policy document includes a Principal that has plural "users" or "groups" instead of "user" or "group", the policy fails to take effect without warning. CLOUD-2783

  • Versioning-enabled buckets with large numbers of objects may generate Gateway server.log warnings that can be safely ignored: "S3BucketRequestHandler: WARNING: problem with versioned bucket listing. Number of CommonPrefix (2000) exceeds max-size limit (1000)." CLOUD-2643

  • 403 S3 V4 Signature mismatch errors may result when using Cyberduck with the "pound" proxy in front of Gateway S3. Workaround: Disable the Expect header in the Cyberduck preferences, or (recommended) use a different proxy such as "haproxy". CLOUD-2628

  • When Gateway cannot connect to Elasticsearch nodes, the errors may erroneously report this as being related to Storage nodes. CLOUD-2595

  • Because of issues with Range and ETag header handling, video playback of .mp4 streams may not work correctly when served via the Gateway S3 port. It does work when served via the Gateway SCSP port. CLOUD-1964

  • Gateway caches the Swarm version from the "Server:" response header, so after upgrading Swarm you must restart Gateway to consistently see the new version. CLOUD-1271

  • Gateway responds with a 500 (Internal Server Error) instead of 400 (Bad Request) if the size of the metadata headers sent to Swarm is too large. CLOUD-800

  • The S3 bucket listing StorageClass response element always reports STANDARD. CLOUD-766

  • If an S3 client escapes URI path characters such as "/", the Gateway audit log escapes the "%" characters used by the client as escape characters. URI audit log processing for S3 clients requires double-unescaping when this occurs. CLOUD-703
