• UID - Specify the user ID that AT&T Synaptic Storage uses to authenticate each request.
• Shared Secret - Specify the shared secret that AT&T Synaptic Storage uses to authenticate each request. When the client application builds a
Web service request, AT&T Synaptic Storage uses the shared secret to create a signature entry as a part of the request. The shared secret must be
associated with the tenant ID and application ID created by AT&T Synaptic Storage.
If you select Nirvanix Storage, you must specify the following:
• Application Key - Specify the application (access) key for your Nirvanix Storage account.

If you select EMC Atmos, you must specify the following:
• Sub Tenant ID - Specify the subtenant ID that EMC Atmos uses to authenticate each request.
• UID - Specify the user ID that EMC Atmos uses to authenticate each request.
• Shared Secret - Specify the shared secret that EMC Atmos uses to authenticate each request. When the client application builds a Web service
request, EMC Atmos uses the shared secret to create a signature entry as a part of the request. The shared secret must be associated with the
subtenant ID and application ID created by the EMC Atmos-based storage provider.
If you select Microsoft Windows Azure, you must specify the following:
• Storage Account – Provide the name of the storage account created in Azure.

Hostname
Specify the hostname of the cloud provider on which Whitewater stores the
replicated data. For example, s3.amazonaws.com or storage.synaptic.att.com.
Port
Specify the port through which replication occurs. Amazon uses port 80, which is an unsecured port, or port 443, which is a secure port. AT&T
Synaptic Storage, Nirvanix Storage, and EMC Atmos use port 443. The default value is 443, which works for all cloud providers.
Bucket Name
Specify the bucket name associated with your cloud service provider account. Buckets are containers (similar to folders) that store deduplicated
data sent from Whitewater.
Configuring a CIFS Share
You can configure Common Internet File System (CIFS) access to Whitewater in the Configure > Storage > CIFS page. CIFS is a
protocol that allows programs to make requests for files and services on remote computers on the Internet. The share you
configured appears in the list of shares on the page. When you add a CIFS share to Whitewater, you can enable authentication or
leave it disabled (allowing all users to access the CIFS share). If you enable authentication, you must add CIFS users who can
access the share.
To configure CIFS:
1. Choose Configure > Storage > CIFS to display the CIFS page, as shown in Figure 6.
