Specify additional optional arguments as a whitespace (" ")-delimited list.

mc admin config set notify_mysql \
  dsn_string="username:password@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
  table="minioevents" \
  format="namespace" \
  [ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... \

You can specify multiple MySQL service endpoints by appending [:name] to the top level key. For example, the following commands set two distinct MySQL service endpoints as primary and secondary respectively:

mc admin config set notify_mysql:primary \
   dsn_string="username:password@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
   table="minioevents" \
   format="namespace" \
   [ARGUMENT=VALUE ...]

mc admin config set notify_mysql:secondary \

   format="namespace" \
   [ARGUMENT=VALUE ...]

The notify_mysql configuration key supports the following arguments:

namespace

For each bucket event, the MinIO creates a JSON document with the bucket and object name from the event as the document ID and the actual event as part of the document body. Additional updates to that object modify the existing table entry for that object. Similarly, deleting the object also deletes the corresponding table entry.

access

For each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the event details and appends it to the table with a MySQL-generated random ID. Additional updates to an object result in new index entries, and existing entries remain unmodified.

This configuration setting corresponds to the MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_FORMAT environment variable.

Defaults to off

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY environment variable.

identity_ldap server_insecure

Optional

Specify on to allow unsecured (non-TLS encrypted) connections to the AD/LDAP server.

MinIO sends AD/LDAP user credentials in plain text to the AD/LDAP server, such that enabling TLS is required to prevent reading credentials over the wire. Using this option presents a security risk where any user with access to network traffic can observe the unencrypted plaintext credentials.

Defaults to off.

Optional

Specify the unique public identifier MinIO uses when authenticating user credentials against the OIDC compatible provider.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLIENT_ID environment variable.

identity_openid redirect_uri

Optional

Important

This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL instead.

The MinIO Console defaults to using the hostname of the node making the authentication request. For MinIO deployments behind a load balancer or reverse proxy, specify this field to ensure the OIDC provider returns the authentication response to the correct MinIO Console URL. Include the Console hostname, port, and /oauth_callback:

http://minio.example.net:consoleport/oauth_callback

Ensure you start the MinIO Server with the --console-address option to set a static Console listen port. The default behavior with that option omitted is to select a random port number at startup.

The specified URI must match one of the approved redirect / callback URIs on the provider. See the OpenID Authentication Request for more information.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_REDIRECT_URI environment variable.

identity_openid redirect_uri_dynamic

Optional

The MinIO Console defaults to using the hostname of the node making the authentication request as part of the redirect URI provided to the OIDC provider. For MinIO deployments behind a load balancer using a round-robin protocol, this may result in the load balancer returning the response to a different MinIO Node than the originating client.

Specify this option as true to direct the MinIO Console to use the Host header of the originating request to construct the redirect URI passed to the OIDC provider.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_REDIRECT_URI_DYNAMIC environment variable.

identity_openid claim_userinfo

Optional

Specify the OpenID User info API endpoint for the OIDC service. For example, https://oidc-endpoint:port/realms/REALM/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo

Some OIDC providers do not provide group information as part of the JWT response after authentication. Specify this URL to direct MinIO to make an additional API call to construct the complete JWT token.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLAIM_USERINFO environment variable.

identity_openid vendor

Optional

Specify the Keycloak Admin API URL. MinIO can use this URL if configured to periodically validate authenticated Keycloak users as active/existing. For example, https://keycloak-endpoint:port/admin/.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_URL environment variable.

Requires identity_openid.vendor set to keycloak.

Specify a comment to associate with the OIDC compatible provider configuration.

This configuration setting corresponds with the MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_COMMENT environment variable.
