Working with Security
Credentials
Security credentials are a pair of an
access key and a secret key. You use the keys pair for AWS Signature v4 authentication.
Cloudian HyperStore
supports user and application types of security credentials. You
can use the keys pair to authenticate S3 API requests and to access and manage objects and
buckets.With S3 API requests, authenticated with user
credentials, you can manage all objects that you own or the objects that are shared with
you.
With application credentials, you control the S3
API access at the bucket level.
If you use
AWS S3
or ECS
, you can only use user credentials to authenticate S3
API requests. With AWS S3
and ECS
, each user account has a single pair of an access and
secret keys. You can rotate the user credential. The rotation only updates the secret key. When you rotate
a user credential, the old secret key remains active for five minutes.
