MinIO Access Management Plugin Settings
This page documents settings for enabling external authorization management using the MinIO Access Management Plugin. See MinIO External Access Management Plugin for a tutorial on using these settings.
You can establish or modify settings by defining:
an environment variable on the host system prior to starting or restarting the MinIO Server. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for how to define an environment variable.
a configuration setting using
mc admin config set.a configuration setting using the MinIO Console’s Administrator > Settings pages.
If you define both an environment variable and the similar configuration setting, MinIO uses the environment variable value.
Some settings have only an environment variable or a configuration setting, but not both.
Important
Each configuration setting controls fundamental MinIO behavior and functionality. MinIO strongly recommends testing configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.
Examples
When setting up the MinIO Access Management plugin, you must define at minimum all required settings. The examples here represent the minimum required setting.
