Connection Properties
You can choose one of the following authentication type:
AccessKey
AssumeRole
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Region required | The AWS region where the S3 bucket is hosted. For example, us-east-2. For S3-compatible or non-AWS services, enter the appropriate ServiceUrl for your provider. |
Access Key ID required | The AWS access key ID or S3-compatible key used to authenticate with Amazon S3 or your S3-compatible storage provider. |
Secret Access Key required | The AWS secret access key associated with the access key ID. This key is used to securely sign API requests. |
Role ARN required for Assume Role | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role to assume for authentication. This allows temporary access based on the permissions of the specified role. |
External ID | Optional. An external ID used when assuming the IAM role via the ARN, providing an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized role assumption. |
Default Bucket | The default S3 bucket name to use when no bucket name is explicitly specified. |
Default Prefix | The key prefix (folder path) within the bucket that the application accesses for uploads, downloads, or file management. Enter |
Endpoint Suffix | The S3 service endpoint suffix for your cloud environment. The default is amazonaws.com for Amazon S3. Modify this only if you are using a different cloud provider or an S3-compatible service. |
