[gpfsug-discuss] [External] : Re: AFM with Object Storage - fails with invalid skey (secret key)

[Pinkesh Valdria]

Thanks Venkat for quick response.

Unfortunately secret keys are auto generated and all of them have = at the end :-(.

Is there a way to receive a patch fix or unofficial fix to  unblock .

Do you have a rough estimate (1 month, 3 months, 6 months) of when the next release with such a fix might be available?

Hi,

AFM does not accept character '='  as part of  access and secret keys. It matches the keys with below expression

"$KEY" =~ ^[0-9a-zA-Z/+._]+$

We will fix it to accept other allowed characters in future releases including char '=', for now generate secret key without '=' char.

Hello GPFS experts,

Today I was trying to configure AFM with Object Storage (AWS s3 compatible) and its failing for me.  I was wondering if you can help me or introduce me to the person/team who can help.

Failed:
mmafmcoskeys afm-ocios:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com<mailto:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com>set 22f79xxxx  clTQ1t4bGL57ca+kFKgJgKrteAwnzhj0854Zeg=
invalid skey (secret key)
mmafmcoskeys: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.

I figured out, it fails because it doesn’t like the equal to “=” sign in the secret key.

Proof:

Works

22f79xxxx:clTQ1t4bGL57ca+kFKgJgKrteAwnzhj0854Zeg

I tried to use  single quote,  double quote around the secret keys, but it still fails.

I also tried to add the key in the keyfile and still it fails.
