In order to use either S3 or Swift, you need credentials.
The credentials are tied to a particular object user, who belongs in a particular namespace. For personal namespaces, the HPC Admins already added the owner as an object user as well as the namespace administrator. For group namespaces, the namespace administrators may add users from the ECS Portal following the instructions in the "Add an Object User" section of the ECS Administration Guide.
The namespace administrator can retrieve an object user's credentials by logging into the ECS Portal at https://ross.hcp.uams.edu using their the namespace administrator's credentials tied to the namepace. Remember, the owner of a personal namespace is their own namespace administrator, and typically logs in with their HPC credentials in the form of <user>@hpc.uams.edu. Once in the portal, click on "Manage" in the left side menu, then click on "Users". Make certain that the "Object Users" tab is highlighted. The type into the "Search" box the object user name for whom you wish to retrieve credentials and click the search icon (a magnifying glass). Find the line with the correct object user's name, and the correct namespace name. In the "Actions" column click the "Edit" button associated with the name. This should bring you to the object user's profile.
For S3 credentials, click the "Show Secret Key" checkbox. This should allow you to see, as well as copy to the clipboard, the S3 Secret Access Key. The object user's name, visible at the top of the profile page, serves as the S3 Access Key ID.
For Swift credentials, Note the "Swift Group" and "Swift Password" fields. If this is a new object users, you may need to fill in the group and password for Swift. Note that we do not currently run a keystone server, hence only Swift v1 or v2 credentials work For personal namespaces, the HPC Admins already added the owner as an object user as well as the namespace administrator. For group namespaces, the namespace administrators may add users from the ECS Portal following the instructions in the "Add an Object User" section of the ECS Administration Guide.
