Storage Authentication Information settings
In HULFT Cloud Storage Option Ver.8.5.1 or higher, you can use the individual settings or default settings of the object storage authentication information according to actual operations.
Specify the individual settings or default settings of the authentication information in the Storage Authentication Information.
The settings for the Storage Authentication Information to configure the individual settings or default settings are shown below.
-
When configuring the individual settings
You can configure the settings of the object storage authentication information for each transfer destination (individual settings) by registering values in the Storage Authentication Information in the Cloud Storage DB.
If you specify Storage Authentication Information ID in the Receive Storage Management Information or the Send Storage Management Information, the individual settings information registered for the ID is used.
-
When configuring the default settings
You can configure the settings that are used in common when the individual settings are not specified (default settings) by registering values in the default information for the Storage Authentication Information in the Cloud Storage DB.
If you do not specify Storage Authentication Information ID in the Receive Storage Management Information or the Send Storage Management Information, the default settings information is used.
For the Storage Authentication Information and the default information, you can register only the necessary fields instead of registering all of the fields.
If you do not register a value in the Storage Authentication Information, the value registered in the default information is used.
If you do not register a default value, the value in the downward-compatible settings is used.
The transfer-related information that can be set to the Storage Authentication Information or the default information is shown below.
