Overview
Manage AWS S3 data stores with Appian! Users can access their S3 objects directly from an Appian interface. Appian documents can be uploaded to a S3 bucket with Server-Side Encryption and be configured as Public or Private. The AWS S3 Connected System Plug-in uses the AWS Java SDK to connect to S3.
Key Features & Functionality
Requirements
Access Key Id: the access key id for connecting to S3 can be retrieved from AWS Management Console Navigate to the Users > Summary page and click the “Security credentials” tabSecret Access Key: the secret access key can only be viewed once upon the creation of an access key, see AWS Access Keys documentation for more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys
Notes
Users that want to upload objects as 'Public' must have the correct IAM privileges or an "Access Denied" error will return.
S3 endpoints which restrict traffic based on source will need to allow the IP and VPC endpoints outlined in KB-1582 based on site region.
sure thing and the plugin has finally been updated ,,, version: 1.0.0.8
great news Sam! we'll wait for the update. thanks!
thanks for brining this to our attention. We have updated the plugin to allow for content-type setting on object metadata... new version should be available within a day or so.
Thanks!
When using the older S3 Utilities plugin the content type metadata is set correctly.
It seems the content type metadata of the object uploaded is defaulted to application/octet-stream. It is kind of important for us to set the content type correctly, is there a way for us to do so using this plugin?
Hey ricardop I have reached out to you in a separate email. Thanks!
Hi friends, we're getting a 403 Error when testing the connection. We have verified access to the specific bucket via aws cli. Also tried creating the connected system without passing the connection test, but still get the 403 when creating an Integration object based on it.Any idea what policy we need to grant in order to pass the getS3AccountOwner test method succesfully?Many thanks!
Unfortunately the Connected System does not provide ACL permission updates. This should be configured in the AWS console.
Hi there, we are wanting to set the acl on the s3 object to
ACL="bucket-owner-full-control" - is this parameter (or variants of this) able to be passed through the connector
Hey Brian, I have removed this restriction, and the updated Connected System should be available soon on app market. In the meantime, you can still create the connected system and use it in integrations without successfully connecting with "Test Connection"
