You can create an account from with the Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Prerequisites

Valid permissions based on the Snap and intended operation. See the Account Permissions the section below for more information.

Account Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for binary files:

  1. Click Create, then select Binary, then AWS S3.
  2. Supply an account label.
  3. Supply the necessary information.

  4. (Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  5. Click Apply.

Account Settings






Label

Required. User-provided label for the account instance

Access-key ID

Required when the IAM role is disabledUnique access key ID part of AWS authentication.

Default value: [None]

Secret key

Required when the IAM role is disabled. The secret key part of AWS authentication

Default value: [None]

Server-side encryption

If selected, the S3 file is written and encrypted using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard AAES256. 

For Snaps that read objects from S3, this field is not required, as encrypted data is automatically decrypted when data is read from S3.

Default value: Not Selected

KMS Encryption type

This field represents the AWS Key Management Service key used to encrypt S3 objects. It can be the key ID or ARN. 

For Snaps that write objects to S3, this is required for encryption types Server-Side encryption with AWS KMS-Managed Keys and Client-Side encryption with AWS KMS-Managed Keys. For Server-Side encryption, the key must be in the same region as the S3 bucket. For Client-Side encryption, a key from any region can be used by using the key ARN value. If a key ID is used for Client-Side encryption, it defaults to the us-east-1 region.

For Snaps that read objects from S3, this field is not required. 

The available options are:

  • None: The files do not get encrypted using KMS encryption.
  • Server side KMS Encryption: If selected, the output files on Amazon S3 are encrypted using this encryption with Amazon S3 generated KMS key.
  • Client side KMS Encryption: If selected, the output files on Amazon S3 are encrypted using this encryption with  client generated KMS key.

Default value: [None]

KMS key

Specifies the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key ID or ARN to be used for the S3 encryption. This is only required if the KMS Encryption type property is configured to use the encryption with KMS. For more information about the KMS key refer to AWS KMS Overview and Using Server Side Encryption

For Snaps that write objects to S3, this is required for encryption types Server-Side encryption with AWS KMS-Managed Keys and Client-Side encryption with AWS KMS-Managed Keys. For Server-Side encryption, the key must be in the same region as the S3 bucket. For Client-Side encryption, a key from any region can be used by using the key ARN value. If a key ID is used for Client-Side encryption, it defaults to the us-east-1 region.

For Snaps that read objects from S3, this field is not required.

Default value:  [None] 

KMS region

Name of the region to which the KMS key belongs. 

Example: s3.us-east-2

IAM role

If selected, the IAM role stored in the EC2 instance is used, instead of the normal AWS authentication, to access the S3 bucket. The Access-key ID and Secret key fields are ignored in this case. 

Note

The List, Read and Write permissions are required as per the attached S3 policy for the IAM role stored on the EC2 instance. 


Note

This property is valid only in Groundplex nodes hosted in the EC2 environment.

In the Groundplex, add the following line to global.properties and restart the JCC: 
jcc.jvm_options = -DIAM_CREDENTIAL_FOR_S3=TRUE


Note
Validation does not work when the property is enabled.


Cross Account IAM Role

This field set helps in granting cross account access, with two fields:

  • Role ARN
  • External ID
Note

These fields helps you in setting up Cross Account IAM Role.


Role ARN

The Amazon Resource Name of the role to assume.

Default value: [None]

External ID

An optional external ID that might be required by the role to assume.

Default value: [None]

Account Encryption

Standard Encryption

If you are using Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are followed.


Enhanced Encryption

If you have the Enhanced Account Encryption feature, the following describes which fields are encrypted for each sensitivity level selected per each account.

  • High: Access-key ID, Secret Key
  • Medium + High: Access-key ID, Secret Key
  • Low + Medium + High: Access-key ID, Secret Key
