To configure an S3 bucket as a data source: 

1. Configure AWS.
2. Configure the SST Application Server.
3. Add the S3 Data Source in the Stewardship Tier.

Configure AWS

1. Under the File shares section, set the Type to SMB.

   

2. Set the Authentication Method to Active Directory (not Guest Access).

   

3. Add the customer’s domain and user to the "User and group file share access" screen in both the Allowed users and Allowed groups sections.

   

4. Identify the IP address of the gateway for the file share. S3 provides an option called "S3 fileshare storage gateway" which, like NFS, is profile based. The IP 10.XX.XXX.XX is a virtual appliance on which the storage gateway is configured.

Configure the SST Application Server

1. Map a network drive to the remote share \\10.XX.XX.XX\<myBucket> using the credentials of the domain\user.
   

   NOTE: You do not need to grant permissions to Network Service, IUSR, or any other

   modify access on this mapped drive.

2. Change the identity of the IIS Application Pool to the customer’s domain\user and restart IIS.
3. Change the logon account of the Cransoft Service to the customer’s domain\user and restart IIS.
   

   NOTE: Ensure the domain\user has Modify access on the C:\BOA app folders, the

   D:\BOA Export folder and any other folders as described in Set Up and Configure File Paths on the Server in the installation manual. The domain\user could already be part of a group which has access so there may be no need to explicitly grant Modify permissions.

Add the S3 Data Source in the Stewardship Tier

Register the S3 data source with a Data Source Type of Local File. Refer to Register a Data Source in the help for more information.  

NOTE: As part of adding the data source, enter \\10.XX.XX.XX\<myBucket>\ in the Path

field on the Vertical View of the Data Sources page.

NOTE: The trailing slash (\) is required.
