Managing S3 accounts

Accounts are required to manage S3 user access in IBM Storage Scale. Use the mms3 account commands to create, delete, update, and list S3 accounts.

1. Create an S3 account.

    mms3 account create s3user9001 --uid 9001 --gid 9000 --newBucketsPath "/gpfs/fs/s3user9001-dir"

   A sample output is as follows:

   Account s3user9001 created successfully 
    Access Key           Secret Key 
    ---------            ----------

2. List the created accounts.

    mms3 account list

   A sample output is as follows:

   
   Name        New Buckets Path         Uid Gid User 
   ------      -----------------        --- --- -- ---- 
   s3user9001  /gpfs/fs/s3user9001-dir 9001 9000 None 

   The S3 access keys generated in the preceding step can be used by S3 applications to submit authenticated S3 requests to the S3 service.
