For more information on establishing a connection, see Establishing a Connection.

Connection


PropertyDescription
BucketsA list of buckets comma-delimited (ex: bucket1,bucket2,..). If left empty, ListAllMyBuckets operation will be used to find them automatically.
CustomURLThe custom URL to the S3 based service. Specify this URL if the S3 based service has a different URL from the 'amazonaws.com'. Make sure to specify the full URL. For example: CustomURL=http://127.0.0.1:9000. Please note that in a custom S3 based service, views other than Buckets and Objects might not be supported to work with or might need to be configured on the custom service itself.
STSEndpointOverrideThe endpoint that the driver will use for the AWS STS service. If the protocol is missing from the URL, https:// will be used. If this parameter is not specified, the driver uses the default AWS STS endpoint.
SimpleUploadLimitThis setting specifies the threshold, in bytes, above which the provider will choose to perform a multipart upload rather than uploading everything in one request.
UseLakeFormationWhen this property is set to true, AWSLakeFormation service will be used to retrieve temporary credentials, which enforce access policies against the user based on the configured IAM role. The service can be used when authenticating through OKTA, ADFS, AzureAD, PingFederate, while providing a SAML assertion.
UseVirtualHostingIf true (default), buckets will be referenced in the request using the hosted-style request: http://bucket-name.host/yourobject. If set to false, the bean will use the path-style request: http://host/bucket-name/yourobject.
