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 Private Cloud Base cluster. Alternatively, you can add
the IDBroker credentials in Cloudera Replication Manager.
Go to the source Cloudera Manager > Administration > Settings > AWS Credentials page.
Complete the following steps to add an IDBroker-based external account in
Cloudera Manager:
Click Add IDBroker Topology for
Authentication.
The Add IDBroker Topology for Authentication
modal window appears.
Provide a Name for the IDBroker topology.
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.
Enter the Cloud topology or IDBroker topology to
use for cloud connections.
Perform one or more of the following steps to manage an IDBroker-based external
account:

Click Actions > Edit Credential to edit the credentials for the required
IDBroker Topology.
Click Actions > Remove the credentials to remove the credentials for the required
