--------------------------------
Summary: S3 DataStore to use Instance Roles
Key: JCR-3831
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3831
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core
Environment: AWS EC2
Reporter: Oli Dewdney
Priority: Minor
The S3Backend class currently requires the ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY in the
configuration. AWS allows the use of keys supplied to the EC2 Instance in the
metadata to access the AWS API, thus removing hardcoded, permanent,
externalably usable security info in config files.
I propose the use of com.amazonaws.auth.DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain
class instead of the BasicAWSCredentials class if the ACCESS_KEY is not
supplied in the openService method of the
/jackrabbit-aws-ext/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/aws/ext/Utils.java
class.
