Security Token Service (STS) — MinIO Object Storage for Linux (original) (raw)
Table of Contents
The MinIO Security Token Service (STS) APIs allow applications to generate temporary credentials for accessing the MinIO deployment.
The STS API is required for MinIO deployments configured to use external identity managers, as the API allows conversion of the external IDP credentials into AWS Signature v4-compatible credentials.
STS API Endpoints
MinIO supports the following STS API endpoints:
| Endpoint | Supported IDP | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity | OpenID Connect | Generates an access key and secret key using the JWT token returned by the OIDC provider |
| AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity | Active Directory / LDAP | Generates an access key and secret key using the AD/LDAP credentials specified to the API endpoint. |
| AssumeRoleWithCustomToken | MinIO Identity Plugin | Generates a token for use with an external identity provider and the MinIO Identity Plugin. |
