Launch the Amazon S3 Config tool from the Start menu on the Windows server.
Choose Generic S3 Endpoint when prompted to select between Amazon AWS S3 and Generic S3 Endpoint:
Enter the server FQDN and the S3 port on the FileFly Generic S3 Endpoint Config:
Server FQDN is the domain set up in Content UI.
S3 Port: The port is 9090 as the server has no SSL offload. Verify the port running S3 by opening
/etc/caringo/cloudgateway/gateway.cfgon the Gateway server and checking the [S3] section.
Create a token and secret key pair in the Content UI to complete the next configuration section.
Browse to Content UI on the Gateway server.
Click on the Settings (cog) icon on the far right and select Tokens.
Click on + Add, beside the Settings cog, and create the token.
Security best practices: Pick a complicated secret key difficult to guess, and change the token and keypair regularly.Record the token information in a secure location as this is the one chance to obtain it in plain text:
Add the details for the new token in the FileFly S3 Configuration utility.
Authorization refers to the choice of signature validations available for the AWS protocol. Both AWS2 and AWS4 signature validations are supported.AWS2 is slightly less secure but faster, because it is performing fewer header checks per chunk.
AWS4 is more secure but slower and more CPU intensive. AWSv4 also requires HTTPS.
