Configuring AFM to cloud object storage fileset by using use-keys and STS token

You can configure AFM to cloud object storage fileset by using use-keys option and Security Token Service (STS).

An AFM to cloud object storage fileset can be configured either by providing the credentials that includes use-keys and security token service (STS) to AFM or by configuring a file to return the credentials.

The mmafmcoskeys command can be used to store the credentials with AFM. AFM stores and uses the credentials for communication with the server.

  1. To configure AFM to retrieve the credentials without storing it, you must configure the file /var/mmfs/etc/mmuid2keys to return the credentials after execution. This mmuid2keys file must be available at all the AFM gateway nodes and must have root executable permission enabled.
  2. When you start to retrieve the credentials from mmuid2keys file, --user-keys option must be specified while creating fileset by using the mmafmcosconfig command.
