Identity Control and Access Control

Identity authentication

Tenants can use RFS through the console or by calling APIs.

1. Identity authentication on the console

RFS is interconnected with Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage tenant identity authentication and access using IAM permissions.

IAM is a basic service of Huawei Cloud that provides permissions management to help you securely control access to RFS. With IAM, you can add users to a user group and configure policies to control their access to RFS resources. IAM permissions define which actions on your cloud resources are allowed and which actions are denied in a fine-grained manner, to control access to your RFS resources.

2. Identity authentication by calling APIs

All APIs can only be accessed by authenticated requests. An authenticated request must contain a signature value. The signature value is calculated based on the access key (AK/SK) of the requester and the specific information carried in the request body. AOS supports AK/SK authentication. It uses AK/SK-based encryption to authenticate requests. For details about access keys and how to obtain them, see Authentication.
