Settings for the Cloud Outbound Adapter
Summary
The cloud outbound adapter has the following settings:
Group | Settings |
---|---|
Cloud Storage | StorageProvider, EndPoint, ProviderCredentialFile, StorageRegion |
The remaining settings are common to all business operations. For information, see Settings for All Business Operations.
StorageProvider
Identifies the cloud storage provider.
EndPoint
PrivateLink endpoint.
ProviderCredentialFile
-
AWS — With AWS, you can leave this blank to use the default credential provider chainOpens in a new tab to obtain the credentials needed to access and S3 bucket. If you prefer to use a credentials file, you can download the credentials file from AWS and then specify its file path. See, Sign Up for AWS and Create an IAM UserOpens in a new tab for more details.
-
GCP — Create access credentials by following Create and manage service account keysOpens in a new tab.
-
Azure — Azure doesn’t support credentials files. It uses a connection string instead, see Configure Azure Storage connection stringsOpens in a new tab for details. The connection string contains key-value pairs delimited by semicolons. The string should be edited to remove the semicolons and each key-value pair placed on its own line.
A sample connection string looks like:
DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=sampleuser;AccountKey=5X774mvEs41WxQsOw19PB2Y;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net
This needs to be broken down to create a file that looks like:
DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https AccountName=sampleuser AccountKey=5X774mvEs41WxQsOw19PB2Y EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net
If you are working with AWS, leave blank to use the default credential provider chainOpens in a new tab to obtain the credentials needed to access an S3 bucket. If you prefer to use a credential file, enter its pathname.
