## Encrypted Private Key

MinIO supports encrypted KES client private keys. Therefore, you can use
an password-protected private keys for `MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE`.

When using password-protected private keys for accessing KES you need to
provide the password via:

```
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_PASSWORD=<your-password>
```

Note that MinIO only supports encrypted private keys - not encrypted certificates.

```

Refer [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/first_steps/) for more details.

### 2. Configure authentication type for Prometheus metrics

MinIO supports two authentication modes for Prometheus either `jwt` or `public`, by default MinIO runs in `jwt` mode. To allow public access without authentication for prometheus metrics set environment as follows.

```

MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS       (string)    set the parity count for reduced redundancy storage class e.g. "EC:2"
MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_COMMENT   (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

#### Etcd

MinIO supports storing encrypted IAM assets in etcd, if KMS is configured. Please refer to how to encrypt your config and IAM credentials [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/IAM.md).

# AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

## Introduction

MinIO supports the standard AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity STS API to enable integration with OIDC/OpenID based identity provider environments. This allows the generation of temporary credentials with pre-defined access policies for applications/users to interact with MinIO object storage.

# MinIO FTP/SFTP Server

MinIO natively supports FTP/SFTP protocol, this allows any ftp/sftp client to upload and download files.

Currently supported `FTP/SFTP` operations are as follows:

| ftp-client commands | supported |
|:-------------------:|:----------|
| get                 | yes       |
| put                 | yes       |
| ls                  | yes       |
| mkdir               | yes       |
| rmdir               | yes       |

MinIO server supports storage class in erasure coding mode. This allows configurable data and parity drives per object.

This page is intended as a summary of MinIO Erasure Coding. For a more complete explanation, see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

## Overview

implements an S3 extension to the [PostUpload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectPOST.html) where in a special fan-out list is sent along with the TSB's for MinIO make multiple uploads from a single source stream. Optionally supports custom metadata, tags and other retention settings. All objects are also readable independently once upload is completed via the regular S3 [GetObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html) API.

## How to enable...

MinIO supports multiple long term users in addition to default user created during server startup. New users can be added after server starts up, and server can be configured to deny or allow access to buckets and resources to each of these users. This document explains how to add/remove users and modify their access rights.

## Get started

custom name derived from a randomly generated uuid - e.g. `0b/c4/0bc4fab7-2daf-4d2f-8e39-5c6c6fb7e2d3`. The first two prefixes are characters 1-2,3-4 from the uuid. This format allows tiering to any cloud irrespective of whether the cloud in question supports versioning. The reference to the transitioned object name and transitioned tier is stored as part of the internal metadata for the object (or its version) on MinIO.

Extra metadata maintained internally in `xl.meta` for a transitioned object...

## MinIO configuration YAML

MinIO now supports starting the server arguments and configuration via a YAML configuration file. This YAML configuration describes everything that can be configured in a MinIO setup, such as '--address', '--console-address' and command line arguments for the MinIO server.
