The "Cloud connectors" tab in the "Your Organization" menu is designed to manage access to your organization's storage spaces. Manage the cloud connectors connected to your account to allow automatic transfer of data to your data offerings, or automatic retrieval of acquired data.
Connecting to a cloud connector depends on your platform subscription plan and your Data Exchange Platform configuration. To find out what your current plan is, click on your name > "Your organization", and review the "Subscription plan and quotas" box, or get in touch with our support team.
What solutions does the platform support?
The platform supports Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and Azure Blob connectors.
Account and authentication
The platform requires the use of a SAS key, which enables the Azure storage account administrator to limit access to the service (Blob) and operations (read, write, list) needed by an Azure connector to read and/or deposit files in containers, and thus apply the Least Privilege security principle. See security recommendations.
Please note SAS keys have a limited validity period. You must update your SAS key before the end of this period to ensure continued access to your Azure containers by the platform, whether for data deposit or retrieval. Reminders are sent to you by e-mail before the SAS key expires.
Necessary authorizations
The SAS key must be configured with :
- List”, ‘Read’ and ‘Write’ rights
- Blob” service authorization
- Container” and ‘Object’ resource type authorization
