Creating access and secret keys for an active directory user
You create an access and a secret key for accessing S3 buckets as an Active Directory (AD) user, not as a storage administrator.
You can create a maximum of two access and secret keys per AD user. If you reach the maximum limit of two, delete the access and the secret key, and create a new access and secret key.
If you log on to Access Appliance as a storage administrator, you can see the access keys that are created by the AD user by navigating to Settings > S3 Management > S3 User Management.
