Create an Account

Create an Account Using the UI

Because Zenko cannot do anything without at least one account to work with, the first step in any working deployment is to create an account. If you have not yet set up any accounts:

1. Log into the Zenko UI.

   

2. The CREATE NEW ACCOUNT window displays automatically.

   

   If you have installed at least one account, click the Accounts tab, then the Create Account button to raise the CREATE NEW ACCOUNT window.

   Enter a unique account name and the email address for the Storage Manager. You can also use the Quota in GB field to set a hard upper limit on space available to this account. Once the account is created, the quota cannot be changed from the Zenko UI. If no value is entered, Zenko imposes no size limit on the account.

   Click Create.

3. The Accounts view displays with the new account information.

   

   From this view, the Storage Manager can create, find, and delete accounts, or click the Locations tab to manage account locations and the buckets they contain.

Create an Account Using the Command Line

1. Set the Admin Access key ID and Secret Access key ID as environment variables.

   VAULT_CONTAINER

   VAULT_CONTAINER=$(kubectl --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf -n zenko
   get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=connector-vault -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
   

   ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID

   ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(kubectl --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
   get secret artesca-data-management-vault-admin-creds.v1 -n zenko -o jsonpath='{.data.accessKey}' | base64 -d)
   

   ADMIN_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

   ADMIN_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(kubectl --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
   get secret artesca-data-management-vault-admin-creds.v1 -n zenko -o jsonpath='{.data.secretKey}' | base64 -d)
   

2. Create the account.

   Note

   In the following example, the account name is account1 and the email is account1@scality.local.

   kubectl --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf -n zenko exec $VAULT_CONTAINER -- bash -c
   "ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID} ADMIN_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${ADMIN_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
   /vault/node_modules/vaultclient/bin/vaultclient create-account --name account1 --email account1@scality.local"
