Vault proxy settings
The S3 proxy allows transparent access to data stored in a S3 bucket as though it was stored in an IBM® vault.
Only supported in vault mode. Protected Vaults do not support Vault Proxy.
By clicking Change on the action bar, a user can configure proxy settings on a vault. Multiple proxy types are available to select.
- Select the Proxy Type, either S3 or Internal.
- Enter the Endpoint URL and the Bucket Name.
An optional Access Key ID and Secret Access Key may also be required.
- Select the vault to proxy.
Ensure that the vault is deployed to one or more access pools and there is at least one common authorized user or group between the proxied vault and the vault configuring the proxy.
Warning: When using an internal proxy, failure to configure common access permissions for both vaults could result in I/O errors.
The system will attempt to read the object from this vault, and will redirect the Read to the proxy location if the object is not found (i.e. it has not been migrated). This feature does not migrate data.
At any point, you can disable the proxy setting by clicking the disable radio button on the Manager Web Interface.
