Configuring StorageGRID to accept connections from client applications requires creating one or more tenant accounts and setting up the connections.
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.
How client connections can be configured
A grid administrator makes configuration choices that affect how S3 clients connect to StorageGRID to store and retrieve data. The specific information you need to make a connection depends upon the configuration that was chosen.
Endpoint domain names for S3 requests
Before you can use S3 domain names for client requests, a StorageGRID administrator must configure the system to accept connections that use S3 domain names in S3 path-style and S3 virtual hosted-style requests.
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.
