Setting Up Object Storage Client
To connect an Object Storage Client to VSky storage, first setup an account to be used for the client. See
for instructions on setting up and configuring user accounts.
Note that you will need the
Secret Key
and
Access Key
for each account to connect to storage. The easiest way
to do this is to login as administrator from the client system, and then copy and paste the keys into the account
setup menus in the client software.
Note that in the examples presented in this guide, the S3 client software
CloudBerry Explore
available from
Amazon is used for the purpose of illustrating the general procedure. Other S3 clients will appear different, but
the steps to create Object Storage for a client are similar for different software.
