APEX user cannot generate S3 keys from the PowerScale Webui

Log in to the OneFS webui with the customer APEX account apex01.
Click Protocols -> Object storage (S3).
You observe that the Key management tab is not visible.

Example:

The APEX customer account does not have the privilege to generate S3 keys using the OneFS webui.

Rest API workaround for customer:

1. Create a session.

Windows CMD prompt: 
 

curl --request POST --insecure 'https://<Node_IP>:8080/session/1/session' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"username": "<username>","password": "<password>","services": ["platform","namespace"]}' -v -c /tmp/cookie.txt
 

Linux client CLI: 
 

curl --request POST --insecure 'https://<Node_IP>:8080/session/1/session' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"username": "<username>","password": "<password>","services": ["platform","namespace"]}' -v -c /tmp/cookie.txt

2. Generate S3 key.
curl -kv -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "X-CSRF-Token: <CSRF Token value>" -H "Referer:https://<Node_IP>" -X POST https://<Node_IP>:8080/platform/12/protocols/s3/mykeys -b /tmp/cookie.txt

Note: The customer Apex01 account does not have PowerScale CLI access, so customer's must run the workaround from an NFS client or from a Windows command prompt that has network connectivity to the PowerScale.

PowerScale Lab Example:

1. Create a session:

Node_IP = X.X.X.X
Username = apex01
Password = the password of the apex01 user account
 

apex7R33643-3% curl --request POST --insecure 'https://X.X.X.X:8080/session/1/session' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"username": "apex01","password": "<PASSWORD>","services": ["platform","namespace"]}' -v -c /tmp/cookie.txt
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

Node_IP = X.X.X.X
CSRF Token value = 14762d26-e806-41c1-b310-4497afb28953 (see above highlighted in red from the create session command)
