<title>Manage object storage</title>
|
|
<para>The OpenStack Object Storage service provides the swift
|
|
command-line interface (CLI) that enables you to gather
|
|
statistics, list items, update metadata, upload, download, and
|
|
delete files. This client is based on the native swift client
|
|
library, <literal>client.py</literal>, which seamlessly
|
|
re-authenticates if the current token expires during
|
|
processing, retries operations multiple times, and provides a
|
|
processing concurrency of 10.</para>
|
|
<para>Users have roles on accounts. For example, the admin
|
|
role enables full access to all containers and objects in an
|
|
account.</para>
|
|
<para>You can set access control lists (ACLs) are set at the container level
|
|
and support lists for read and write access, which are set
|
|
with the <literal>X-Container-Read</literal> and
|
|
<literal>X-Container-Write</literal> header
|
|
respectively.</para>
|
|
<para>You can use the swift client to set the ACLs by using the
|
|
<command>post</command> subcommand with the <parameter>-r</parameter> parameter for the read access and
|
|
<parameter>-w</parameter> option for the write access. The following example enables the testuser user
|
|
to read objects in the container:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>swift post -r 'testuser'</userinput></screen>
|
|
<para>You can also use this command with a list of users.</para>
|
|
<para>If you use the StaticWeb middleware to enable
|
|
OpenStack Object Storage to serve public web content,
|
|
be aware of the ACL syntax for
|
|
managing allowed referrers. The syntax is <literal>.r:</literal>
|
|
followed by a list of allowed referrers. For example,
|
|
the following command gives object access to all referring domains access:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>swift post -r '.r:*'</userinput></screen>
