Abstract
Managing access to stored objects includes receiving, by a storage OS in a computing system, an access key identifier (ID) and access key associated with a user of an object storage service (OSS); determining, by a directory service, whether the user is a member of a group authorized to access a storage object in at least one of a network accessible storage (NAS) volume and an OSS bucket, based at least in part on the access key ID; in response to the user being a group member, attempting to authenticate the user by the storage OS with the directory service based at least on the access key ID and the access key; and in response to the user being authenticated by the directory service, allowing, by the storage OS, access by the user to the storage object stored in at least one of the NAS volume and the OSS bucket.
