Grid Options allow you to manage the settings for stored objects, including stored object encryption, stored object hashing, and stored object compression. You can also set the Prevent Client Modify and the HTTP options.
Choices
Configuring stored object encryption
Stored object encryption enables the encryption of stored object data so that if an object store is compromised data cannot be retrieved in a readable form. By default, objects are not encrypted.
Configuring stored object hashing
The Stored Object Hashing option specifies the hashing algorithm used by the LDR service to hash data when new content is stored. These hashes are verified during retrieval and verification to protect the integrity of data.
Configuring stored object compression
You can use the Stored Object Compression grid option to reduce the size of objects stored in StorageGRID, so that objects consume less storage.
Enabling Prevent Client Modify
You can set the Prevent Client Modify option to Enabled to override the permissions defined for HTTP profiles and to deny specific HTTP client operations.
Enabling HTTP for client communications
By default, client applications use HTTPS for all connections with the Storage Nodes and API Gateway Nodes. However, you can set the HTTP option to Enabled if you want to use HTTP communications between S3 and Swift clients and StorageGRID in addition to HTTPS communications. For example, you might use HTTP when testing a non-production grid.
