IBM Object Storage Source Authentication

For the IBM Object Storage Source connection type, specify these settings:

  • Api Key - Enter your IBM Object Storage source API key. To obtain this key:

    1. Log in to your IBM Cloud account.

    2. Navigate to the Platform API Keys page.

    3. Click Create an IBM Cloud API Key (middle right corner ) to create a new API key. This action opens a dialog box.

    4. In the dialog box, specify a name for the API key name. Then, click Create.

      Note: Save the API key somewhere because you cannot access it again from the dashboard.

  • Auth Scheme - Select your authentication scheme below to proceed to the relevant section for your scheme. Then fill out the settings as specified in that section.

OAuth

  1. For the OAuth scheme, specify these settings:

    • OAuth Request Token URL - Enter the URL where the CData Sync application requests the request token. (This field is for OAuth 1.0 only, and it is required.)

    • OAuth Version - Select your OAuth version. The default version is 2.0.

    • OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

    • OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

    • Scope - Enter the scope that you want to use to obtain the initial access and refresh token.

    • OAuth Authorization URL - Enter the URL where the user logs into the service and grants permissions to the application. In OAuth 1.0, if permissions are granted, the request token is authorized.

    • OAuth Access Token URL - Enter the URL where the request for the access token is made. In OAuth 1.0, the authorized request token is exchanged for the access token.

    • OAuth Refresh Token URL - Enter the URL from which to refresh the OAuth token.

  2. Click Connect to CSV to connect to your CSV account.
