NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Administration Guide 25
Beta Draft
Using the Wizard Dashboard Using the AltaVault configuration wizards
6. Enable Archiving - Enable this option if you are using the AltaVault for cold storage mode. For more information
about cold storage mode, see “Deployment guidelines” on page 13.
7. Enable Cloud Deduplication - Enabling this option may improve deduplication rates for repetitive backup datasets,
lowering cloud storage costs. Disabling this option is recommended for Amazon Glacier to improve recovery of
recently written data from cache, but can decrease deduplication rates and increase cloud storage costs.
8. Enable Cloud CA Certificate - Optionally, specify a cloud CA certificate that will be used to validate the server
certificate of cloud provider. This must be .pem extension file.
9. Enable Proxy - Select to enable proxy server settings. A proxy server acts as an intermediary for requests from
clients seeking resources from other servers.
After you select the check box, specify the following settings:
Hostname/IP address - Specify the hostname or the IP address
Port - Specify the port numbers for access
Username - Specify the name of the user for access
Password - Specify the user’s password.
STS authentication
1. Identity Provider URL: Specify the URL of the provider.
The identity provider is a server that performs two roles: 1) authenticating users and machines wishing to access
Amazon AWS services, and 2) providing temporary security credentials with which to access those services.
AltaVault makes a call to the identity provider, which in turn makes a call to Amazon STS using the AssumeRole
API call to generate temporary security credentials, and then passes these credentials back to AltaVault.
2. Parameters - Specify the parameters that the provider expects to authenticate the AltaVault appliance.
3. Response Type - JSON is the default.
4. Method - Select GET or POST.
5. CA Certificate - Specify the certificate that will be used to validate the server certificate of the identity provider.
Ensure that the file has the required .pem extension.
6. Select the Web Settings page link.
Select the Replace tab.
Certificate - Upload the client certificate.
Separate Private Key - Upload the Private Key.
To replace the certificate and private key, click Import Certificate and Key.
7. Hostname - Verify the hostname of the cloud provider on which AltaVault stores the replicated data.
8. Bucket Name - Specify the bucket name associated with your cloud service provider account. If the bucket name
does not exist, the bucket is created during initial
AltaVault replication. Bucket names must be a series of one or
more labels separated by a period.
9. Port - Specify the port through which replication occurs. Ports 80 or 443 are available.
