How to connect Oracle Storage account in arcserver

 How to connect Oracle Storage account in arcserver?

When I tried to connect OCI Object storage with arcserver, I am getting an error saying failed to connect.

I tried the same credentials with Cloudberry and I encounter an error. But in cloudberry the error shows the reason. Fix for the error is http://www.linuxblackmagic.com/2021/10/authorization-mechanism-you-have.html

After fixing the error, I came to know that the issue is related to "Signature Version". For changing the signature version, there is no option in web. We need to go to "C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Management\BIN\CCI\Config"

then open the file "AmazonPlugin", change the line from true to false

# original

#Set S3SignerType Override to true

SIGNER_OVERRIDE=true

#after change

#Set S3SignerType Override to true

SIGNER_OVERRIDE=false

Then restart the arcserver.

Try to connect, your OCI object storage account will connect now.
