[gpfsug-discuss] AFM with Object Storage - fails with invalid skey (secret key)

[Pinkesh Valdria]

Hello GPFS experts,

Today I was trying to configure AFM with Object Storage (AWS s3 compatible) and its failing for me.  I was wondering if you can help me or introduce me to the person/team who can help.

Failed:
mmafmcoskeys afm-ocios:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com<mailto:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com> set 22f79xxxx  clTQ1t4bGL57ca+kFKgJgKrteAwnzhj0854Zeg=
invalid skey (secret key)
mmafmcoskeys: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.

I figured out, it fails because it doesn’t like the equal to “=” sign in the secret key.

Proof:
mmafmcoskeys afm-ocios:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com<mailto:us-ashburn-1 at hpc_limited_availability.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com> set 22f79xxxx  clTQ1t4bGL57ca+kFKgJgKrteAwnzhj0854Zeg
Works

22f79xxxx:clTQ1t4bGL57ca+kFKgJgKrteAwnzhj0854Zeg

I tried to use  single quote,  double quote around the secret keys, but it still fails.

I also tried to add the key in the keyfile and still it fails.
