Adding a Base URL
This task is only necessary if you use object clients that encode the location of an object,
its namespace and bucket, in a URL. In that case you can specify a base URL that will be
used, together with the namespace, as the path to objects in a tenant.
Before you begin
This operation requires the System Administrator role in ViPR.
You must ensure that the domain specified in a request that uses a URL to specify an
object location resolves to the location of the ViPR appliance.
Procedure
1. Select Admin > Data Services > Base URLs.
2. Select Add.
The Create Base URL page is displayed.
3. Enter the name of the base URL. This will provide additional information about the
base URL when looking at the base URL table.
4. Enter the base URL.
If your objects location URLs are in the form: https://
mybucket.mynamespace.acme.com (that is, bucket.namespace.baseurl )
or https://mybucket.acme.com (that is, bucket.baseurl), the base URL
would be acme.com.
You can specify which format in the Use Namespace selector.
5. Choose the format in which your object address is encoded in the URL: with a
namespace or without a namespace.
6. Select Save.
Example of a base URL
As an example of the use of the Base URL, an object named myphoto.jpg in the images
bucket with a base URL of s3.amazonaws.com and a tenant namespace of viprdata,
would be addressable using the following URL: https://
images.viprdata.s3.amazonaws.com/myphoto.jpg
Note
The Object Data Service may include a list of base URLs.
