Configuring StorageGRID to accept connections from client applications requires creating one or more tenant accounts and setting up the connections.
Steps
Creating and configuring S3 tenant accounts
An S3 tenant account is required before S3 API clients can store and retrieve objects on StorageGRID. Each tenant account has its own account ID, groups and users, and containers and objects.
Deciding to use HTTPS or HTTP connections
Client applications can use encrypted HTTPS connections or less-secure HTTP connections when they connect to the Storage Nodes or API Gateway Nodes.
Endpoint domain names for S3 requests
A StorageGRID administrator must provide you with the endpoint domain names to use for S3 path-style and S3 virtual hosted-style requests. If the StorageGRID system uses an uncommon root CA, your grid administrator will also provide the root CA certificate to be imported into your S3 client application's truststore.
Testing your S3 REST API configuration
You can use the Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to test your connection to the system and to verify that you can read and write objects to the system.
