Minio: server: Support multiple api keys

Created on 19 Oct 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: minio/minio

Is minio going to implement multiple accesskey?

I am aware of #811, but minio-xl repo doesn't exsits anymore.
Also aware of the workaround using multi tenant as described in #2751 (which will be fixed in docs by #2752 ), but this approach need externals tools to be implemented.

Do you plan to implement such a feature in minio (even in a distant future) ?

community working as intended

@harshavardhana multiple instances do not solve the same problems as multiple keys, unless multiple instances are safe to point at the same data (the multi-tenant docs appear to suggest otherwise)? For example, compromised keys require rolling credentials on every client, or the need for differing access levels for shared data.

If it is not possible to point multiple instances at the same data (which is in any case quite painful to maintain), is there something technical (rather than philosophical) that makes it particularly difficult to support multiple keys?

We will not be implementing multiple access key support. #2752 is what holds good for the future as well.
