Basic Tab

Amazon S3

To connect to the Amazon S3 file system adapter, set the following properties in the basic tab of the New Data Source connection window:

Field	Description
Data Source Name	The name of the data source.
URL	A URL to connect to the physical data source.
Access Key	The key used to sign the requests you send to Amazon S3.
Secret Access Key	Like the Username/Password pair you use to access your AWS Management Console, Access Key Id and Secret Access Key are used for programmatic (API) access to AWS services. You can manage your Access Keys in AWS Management Console
AWS Authentication Type	The Authentication Type used to connect to the data source. Choose one of the following: - Simple Credentials/Assumed Role Credentials - Uses Access key, Secret key and the Assumed Role Name (ARN). This is the default value. - Session credentials (Temporary Access) - Uses Access key, Secret key and Session Token.
End Point Region	The Region where the Amazon S3 storage belongs to.
Assumed Role Name	Assumed Role Names are used by AWS to denote the role assumed by the account used to access the AWS resources. A user account may assume multiple roles and each role is granted different access privileges. This field is enabled if you choose Simple Credentials/Assumed Role Credentials in the AWS Authentication Type field.
Session Token	Used to validate the temporary security credentials. Temporary credentials expire after a specified interval. After temporary credentials expire, any calls that you make with those credentials will fail, so you must generate a new set of temporary credentials. This field is enabled if you choose Session credentials (Temporary access) in the AWS Authentication Type field. Note: Session Tokens will be valid only for a particular time period. When you try to access the data source after the Session Token has expired, an error message will be displayed.
