    Before you add a notification service to the IBM Cloud Object Storage platform, you must obtain some information from the IBM Spectrum® Discover server.

    To authenticate the IBM Cloud Object Storage notification service, you can capture the Kafka user name and password from the files on the IBM Spectrum Discover platform.

    If the Transport Layer Security (TLS) is enabled in the IBM Cloud Object Storage notification service, you can also copy the certificate authority (CA) in PEM format from the IBM Spectrum Discover platform. After you collect the information, you can add the information to the notification service configuration.
