Set Profile Mappings

POST /object/transformation/{transformationId}/profile/mapping

Sets a ProfileMapping for one or several ECS user profiles to the corresponding profiles from a Centera legacy storage system.

A ProfileMapping defines a mapping between a pair of data instances defined as a legacy storage bucket and legacy storage user mapped to a pair of data instances defined as an ECS bucket and an ECS user. ECS needs this mapping to redirect requests to a legacy storage bucket using correct legacy storage user credentials when some ECS bucket is accessed by an ECS user.

Both pairs are correlated using the source_id identifier. For instance, if user A has access to two buckets B and C in the Legacy Storage, then ECS should assign two source_id identifiers: sourceProfile1 and sourceProfile2, one for each legacy storage bucket. Set two ECS Profile Mapping entries, one for each legacy storage bucket, as in this example:

 {
     "source_id": "centeraPool1/centeraProfile1",
     "target_user": "ecs_user_a",
     "target_bucket": "ecs_bucket_b",
     "target_namespace": "ecs_namespace"
     },
     {
     "source_id": "centeraPool2/centeraProfile2",
     "target_user": "ecs_user_a",
     "target_bucket": "ecs_bucket_c",
     "target_namespace": "ecs_namespace"
     }
 

NOTE: The Target namespace ("target_namespace": "ecs_namespace") should be the namespace created by this transformation. If you specify some other existing namespace irrespective of the target namespace provided in your request body, ECS creates the pool/profile in the namespace created by this transformation.

Passed ProfileMapping entries override any previously set or auto-calculated ones for the same source_id identifier. Overriding an auto-calculated Profile Mapping with the same one effectively clears any existing conflicts. Use this call to resolve conflicting Profile Mappings by setting them manually.

Examples

Request
The curl example stores arguments in the file req_body.tmp:
{
"mappings": [
        {
        "source_id":        "buck_1/user_n1",
        "target_user":      "ecs_user_n1",
        "target_bucket":    "ecs_buck_1",
        "target_namespace": "centera_7b4985d2-1dd2-11b2-9ac4-9b1603e01545"
        }
    ]
}

The curl command to accomplish this is:
curl -s -k -X POST -H Content-Type:application/json -H X-SDS-AUTH-TOKEN:$TOKEN -H ACCEPT:application/json -d @req_body.tmp https://10.247.200.192:4443/object/transformation/urn:Transformation:Centera:7b4985d2-1dd2-11b2-9ac4-9b1603e01545/profile/mapping
