SwiftStack Client

Once your newly configured cluster is ready, we recommend running through a few exercises to become familiar with your cluster and test it.

Download the latest version of the SwiftStack Client

Please follow the download process appropriate to your operating system.

The next step is to configure a storage account in SwiftStack Client UI.

Credentials and URL

Use the same username / password created during the Adding a Storage Account step.

To find the Auth URL, navigate to the Cluster detail page on the SwiftStack Controller. On this page is a list of URLs used when configuring storage.

Copy the Swift API Auth URL and paste it in the Auth URL field on the SwiftStack Client.

Verify and Save Account

Optionally, you may click on the Verify Account button to ensure that the account information is correct and the client can connect to the storage location.

Lastly, save the account, and select the account to view the list of containers/buckets in the account.
