Adding and managing an IDBroker-based external account in Cloudera Manager

You can create an IDBroker-based external account in Cloudera Manager to use AWS temporary credentials for data replication using replication policies. Ensure that you have configured the required properties for it in Cloudera Manager for the Cloudera Base on premises cluster. Alternatively, you can add the IDBroker credentials in Cloudera Replication Manager.

  1. Go to the source Cloudera Manager > Administration > Settings > AWS Credentials page.
  2. Complete the following steps to add an IDBroker-based external account in Cloudera Manager:
    1. Click Add IDBroker Topology for Authentication.
      The Add IDBroker Topology for Authentication modal window appears.
    2. Provide a Name for the IDBroker topology.
    3. Enter one or more comma-separated list of IDBroker addresses. The IDBroker address includes the IDBroker host and port details in the https://[***IDBROKER HOST***]:[***IDBROKER PORT***]/gateway format.
      To identify the required IDBroker address to add in this field, go to the source Cloudera Manager > Clusters > Knox service > Instances page. The Hostname for the Knox IDBroker Role Type is the IDBroker address.

      For example, https://cldrcld-1.cld.root.site:8444/gateway.

    4. Enter the Cloud topology or IDBroker topology to use for cloud connections.
