Adding S3 compatible accounts

To allow a specific account to perform all operations on an S3 compatible target, you must first add the account to R‑Cloud, and then specify it when setting up the target.

For details on how to specify an S3 compatible account when setting up an S3 compatible target, see Setting up an S3 compatible target.

Prerequisite

An account must be configured in an S3 compatible provider environment, and it must have the s3:ListAllMyBuckets permission granted.

Procedure

  1. In the Cloud Accounts dialog box, click New New.

  2. Select Add S3 Compatible Account, and then click Next.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for your S3 compatible account.

  4. From the Protection Set drop-down menu, select the protection set to which you want to add your S3 compatible account.

  5. From the S3 Provider drop-down menu, select your S3 compatible service provider.

  6. In the Access Key ID field, enter the access key ID of the S3 compatible account.

  7. In the Secret Access Key field, enter the secret access key of the S3 compatible account.

    Note  The access key ID and the secret access key are used to authenticate S3 REST API service calls.

  8. Click Save.

The S3 compatible account is added to the list of cloud accounts in R‑Cloud.

You can at any time edit any of the S3 compatible accounts (click Edit Edit and make the required modifications) or delete the ones that you do not need anymore (click Delete Delete). Keep in mind that deleting the S3 compatible account from R‑Cloud does not remove it from the S3 compatible provider environment.
