Preparing Accounts and Permissions

Source Servers (AWS)

Target Servers (Huawei Cloud)

1. Sign up for a HUAWEI ID, enable Huawei Cloud services, and complete real-name authentication. If you have already enabled Huawei Cloud services and completed real-name authentication, skip this step.
   1. Visit Huawei Cloud and click Sign Up.
   2. Sign up for a HUAWEI ID and enable Huawei Cloud services.
   3. (Optional) Complete real-name authentication. Real-name authentication is the process of submitting valid identity information (such as a passport or business license) for verification when you use cloud services in the Chinese mainland. There are individual real-name authentication and enterprise real-name authentication.

      According to relevant laws and regulations, unauthenticated accounts cannot purchase cloud services in the Chinese mainland and your account and rights may not be protected. For more information, see Real-Name Authentication Overview.

      To complete real-name authentication, refer to:

      • Individual account: Individual Real-Name Authentication
      • Enterprise account: Enterprise Real-Name Authentication

2. Create an IAM user and grant permissions to the user. For details, see Using IAM Roles or Policies to Grant Access to SMS. Skip this step if you use a HUAWEI ID (administrator account).
3. Obtain an AK/SK pair for the account.

   The AK/SK of the target account is required for authentication when starting the SMS-Agent. For details, see How Do I Obtain an AK/SK Pair for a Huawei Cloud Account? or How Do I Obtain an AK/SK Pair for an IAM User?
