Locktera Share + Akamai NetStorage Integration GuideCopied!

Locktera Share supports S3-compatible storage, allowing customers to connect their Akamai NetStorage environment for secure file handling and access control.

Note: Akamai NetStorage offers S3 API support through Akamai’s S3-Compatible API feature. Ensure it’s enabled on your account. You may need to work with your Akamai account representative to provision this feature.

Step 1: Enable Akamai S3-Compatible API

1. Contact your Akamai representative or log into your Akamai Control Center (https://control.akamai.com/).

2. Request S3-Compatible API access for your NetStorage CP Code and storage group.

3. Once enabled, you will receive:

   • S3-compatible Host Name (e.g., s3.<your-network>.akadns.net)

   • Access Key ID

   • Secret Access Key

   • Bucket name (usually linked to your CP Code)

Step 2: Configure NetStorage Permissions

Ensure the access key has appropriate permissions for:

• Uploading (PUT)

• Downloading (GET)

• Listing (LIST)

• Deleting (DELETE) — if required

Akamai may manage permissions differently than typical IAM models. Confirm with support if you're unsure.

Step 3: Connect in Locktera Share

1. Log into your Locktera Share System Admin Portal.

2. Navigate to settings.

3. Click Cloud Storage

4. Choose “S3-Compatible Storage” from the dropdown.

5. Fill in the fields with your Akamai credentials:

   • Host Name: e.g. s3.us-east-1.akadns.net or what was provided

   • Region: Use the applicable region (e.g. us-east-1) or enter auto

   • Bucket: Your Akamai NetStorage bucket or directory

   • Access Key: Your Akamai-provided Access Key

   • Secret Key: Your Akamai-provided Secret Key

6. Click Save.

Best Practices

• Rotate access keys periodically

• Monitor access logs through Akamai’s reporting tools

• Use Locktera’s file-level controls to manage who can see or download assets even after integration
