Nutanix Objects Manual: Nutanix Objects Browser Guide

NUTANIX OBJECTS BROWSER

The Nutanix Objects Browser is a User Interface (UI) that helps users to directly launch the object store instance in a web browser and perform bucket and object-level operations. This eliminates the steps of logging into Prism Central and launching the Nutanix Objects service.The administrators use Prism Central to manage the object stores. When an administrator creates an object store, a default bucket (objectsbrowser) gets created. The static website hosting capability is already enabled on this default bucket. The Nutanix Objects Browser UI is hosted on this default bucket.To launch the Nutanix Objects Browser, select the object store and click

Actions > Launch Objects

Browser. Nutanix Objects Browser will be opened in a new window. You can also launch the Nutanix

Objects Browser from the buckets list page (See Viewing Buckets in Nutanix Objects on page 127).Alternatively, if you have multiple load balancer IP addresses for the object store, you can click any of the IP addresses to launch the Nutanix Objects Browser for that object store.

Figure 48: Prism Central - Launch Nutanix Objects Browser

The administrator can also share the object store URL with the user to access the Nutanix Objects Browser UI. The URL can be formed using the Nutanix Objects Public IP address. http://objects-public-ipaddress/objectsbrowser Note: You can use http or https to access the Nutanix Objects Browser. Refer to the following image to understand the URL formation.

Note:

• Refreshing the page logs out the user and cancels the pending and in-progress uploads.• Any uploads taking more than 60 minutes gets terminated and retried three times before

getting canceled.

Administrator Workflow: Nutanix Objects Browser

The administrator needs to perform the following steps to grant access to the Nutanix Objects Browser to a particular user.

About this task

Note:

• Nutanix Objects Browser does not store the access and secret keys.• If the user refreshes the page with the refresh button of the web browser, they will need to

provide the credentials again, and any unsaved changes will be lost (including any pending or in-progress uploads). To grant access to Nutanix Objects Browser, follow these steps:

Procedure

1. Add the IAM user. For more information, see Generating Access Key for API Users on page 94.After the administrator adds the user, the access and secret keys are generated. 2. (Optional) Grant access permissions (read only, full access, or custom) to the buckets. For more information, see Sharing a Bucket in Nutanix Objects on page 130.

Note: This step is optional and can be performed if the administrator wants to share bucket of another

user with a new user. If the administrator does not perform this step, the buckets list will be empty for the IAM users. The users can still create buckets from the Nutanix Objects Browser UI. 3. Share the Nutanix Objects Browser URL with a user to launch the object store in a web browser. . Share the access and secret keys that you generated for the user. The user would require to enter the keys in the login page of the Nutanix Objects Browser UI.

Configuring a Bucket for Static Website Hosting using Nutanix Objects Browser

You can use Nutanix Objects Browser to host a static website that has individual web pages with static content. To host a static website on Nutanix Objects, you can configure a bucket for website hosting, and then upload your website files (objects) to the bucket. When you configure a bucket as a static website, you enable static website hosting, and optionally, add an index document and an error page. You can upload files (such as index documents and error pages) to the bucket using the Nutanix Objects Browser or S3 browser. The S3 browser uses the S3 protocols by providing access and the secret key. You can also choose to redirect to a website. Once you have configured your bucket as a static website, you can access the bucket through the object store endpoints for your bucket.

About this taskTo configure a bucket for static website hosting, follow these steps:

Procedure

1. Log on to the Nutanix Objects Browser.2. In the Buckets table, select the bucket to configure it for static website hosting.3. Click tripple dot horizontal icon > Static Website.

4. By default, the endpoint is auto-populated when you click Save at the last step. For example, when an endpoint auto populates, the URL will be in the formatobjectstorename

However, if they have set up the DNS correctly, then you can also access the website withbucketname

5. Click the Host Website or Redirect check box.

Optionally, you can enter the name of the index document (for example, myindex.html) and an error page.An index document is a web page that Nutanix Objects returns when you request the root of a website. It is the default page that loads when you are not requesting any specific page. After you enable static website hosting for your bucket, you can upload an HTML file with the index document name (for example, myindex.html) to your bucket. For example, if you specify no object in the URL, then the website loads the index page (myindex.html) that you have configured. If you have not configured an index document, then a website access to the root will return an access denied error message.A custom error page is a web page that Object returns when an error occurs. For example, if you are trying to load an object that does not exist, the website loads the error page that you have configured. Objects | Nutanix Objects Browser |

Limitations for Audio and Video Preview in Nutanix Objects Visualizer

The following are the limitations for audio and video objects preview in Nutanix Objects Browser:

• Presigned URL Expiration: Nutanix Objects Visualizer relies on presigned URLs with a 15-minute

expiration time for loading object previews. This constraint limits the time frame during which the plugin can fetch and process audio/video content.

• Audio/Video Operations Timeframe: The plugin supports all operations on audio and video content only

within the 15-minute window of the presigned URL’s validity. Beyond this timeframe, certain operations may be affected.

• Playback Disruption: Once the presigned URL expires, there is a potential for playback disruption.

Specifically, audio operations may encounter difficulties when attempting to resume playback from parts that were not downloaded or were subject to garbage collection.

• Limited Support for URL Renewal: Currently, the plugin does not support the renewal of expired

presigned URLs. This limitation impacts the ability to extend the timeframe for operations and playback beyond the initial 15-minute duration.

• Media Play Continuation: The plugin lacks built-in support for the seamless continuation of media

playback after the expiration of the presigned URL. This may result in interruptions, particularly when dealing with large audio files.

• Handling Extended Video/Audio Durations: Similar challenges may arise when attempting to play video

or audio files exceeding 15 minutes in duration for their full intended playback duration.

User and Key Management in Nutanix Objects Browser

Nutanix Objects Browser also provides end users with access to the Object service directly.With the Nutanix Objects Browser, you can also enable IT consumers within your organization, such as development, test, or devops team to manage their own access and secret keys directly through the Nutanix Objects Browser, without requiring intervention from a Prism Central Administrator. Roles for User and Key Mangement in Nutanix Objects BrowserThe following roles are available when configuring User and Key management in Nutanix Objects Browser.1. Prism Central Administrator: Use the Prism Central administrator role to set up access control policies, delegating management of bucket access and secret keys to end users.

2. Sub Admin: Use the sub-admin role to manage access keys on behalf of a specific group of users. A

user with a sub admin role optionally creates new users if additional permissions are granted.

3. End user: Use the end user role for direct access to Object storage through the browser interface or an

external S3 client.

Prerequisites for User and Key Management in Nutanix Objects Browser

Deployment prerequisites, port configurations, and IAM roles requirements for user and key management in Nutanix Objects Browser.Ensure that you meet the following requirements before configuring the user and key in the Nutanix Objects Browser:

• Required IAM roles with appropriate permissions are configured.• The client system that opens the Nutanix Objects Browser must be able to reach the Prism Central IP

over port 9440 for Active Directory/LDAP authentication.

• The Nutanix Objects Storage network must connect to Prism Central over port 8443 to perform IAM API

operations.

Limitations for User and Key Management in Nutanix Objects Browser

The following limitations apply when you configure the user and key in Nutanix Objects Browser:

• Only Active Directory (AD) or LDAP users can log in to the Nutanix Objects for user and key

management. Local users are not supported.

• Only the IAM users imported from AD or LDAP can be managed from Nutanix Objects Browser. Local

IAM users cannot be managed from Objects Browser.

• Users can only view, manage, or delete the access keys that they create. Keys created using the Prism

Central UI are owned by the admin and are not visible or editable by other users - even if those keys are associated with their username.

• A user who creates keys for another user becomes the owner of those keys. As a result, the recipient

user cannot manage those keys in Nutanix Objects Browser.

• The permissions required for user and key management in Nutanix Objects Browser are different from

those required for managing IAM users and keys from the Prism Central Objects page. Objects | Nutanix Objects Browser |
