Hi Andre,

We are working to improve the user management tooling for Riak CS. A pretty much read-only prototype CLI can be found under our basho-labs GitHub organization. [0]

If you don't want to use Riak CS Control to manage users, your best alternatives right now are:

- s3curl
- fog

Examples of how to use Fog to manage users can be found on our docs site. [1]

In order to use s3curl against Riak CS setup in a proxy configuration you'll want to look at the account management section on the CS docs site. [2] The arguments to s3curl would look something like the ones in this gist. [3]

As an alternative to the proxy configuration, you can configure Riak CS in a "direct" configuration that gets rid of the s3.amazonaws.com requirement altogether. [4]

Hi there,

I managed to install a 5 Node RIAK CS Cluster and it seems to work fine.

Anyway, there are some things I still do not understand:

I managed to add, revoke, remove users through riak-cs-controll, but I don't really like to use this tool, as for me it feels like another possible security hole (I want to use riak cs on public servers for public available files).

I likely understood s3cmd, for getting informations about Buckets, Objects and Users.

I also got amazon-s3-php-class to work, to upload files and create buckets.

But I'm not really familiar with the concept of s3curl, the proxying and the URL (s3.amazonaws.com). Can I simply put my own URL in front of my cluster (round-robin at best) and push to that cluster through a http Proxy (like varnish, sitting on each node to cache hight frequently fetched files) and which console tool I have to use, with which parameters? Same for the users. Which console tool do I have to use with which params to add, revoke, remove users?
