The connection has been established. You can proceed with setting up the module.

AWS S3 modules and their fields

When you configure AWS S3 modules, Workfront Fusion displays the fields listed below. Along with these, additional AWS S3 fields might display, depending on factors such as your access level in the app or service. A bolded title in a module indicates a required field.

If you see the map button above a field or function, you can use it to set variables and functions for that field. For more information, see Map information from one module to another in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Headers

Add a request header. You can use the following common request headers. For more request headers refer to AWS S3 API Documentation.

Workfront Fusion adds authorization headers automatically.

Header Name

Description

Content-Length

Length of the message (without the headers) according to RFC 2616. This header is required for PUTs and operations that load XML, such as logging and ACLs.

Content-Type

The content type of the resource, in case the request content is in the body. Example: text/plain.

Content-MD5

The base64 encoded 128-bit MD5 digest of the message (without the headers) according to RFC 1864. This header can be used as a message integrity check to verify that the data is the same data that was originally sent. Although it is optional, we recommend using the Content-MD5 mechanism as an end-to-end integrity check. For more information about REST request authentication, go to REST Authentication in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

Date

The current date and time according to the requester. Example: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 12:00:00 GMT. When you specify the Authorization header, you must specify either the x-amz-date or the Date header.

Expect

When your application uses 100-continue, it does not send the request body until it receives an acknowledgment. If the message is rejected based on the headers, the body of the message is not sent. This header can be used only if you are sending a body.

Valid Values: 100-continue

Host

For path-style requests, the value is s3.amazonaws.com. For virtual-style requests, the value is BucketName.s3.amazonaws.com. For more information, see Virtual Hosting in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

This header is required for HTTP 1.1 (most toolkits add this header automatically); optional for HTTP/1.0 requests.

x-amz-content-sha256

When using signature version 4 to authenticate the request, this header provides a hash of the request payload. When uploading an object in chunks, set the value to STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD to indicate that the signature covers only headers and that there is no payload. For more information, see Signature Calculations for the Authorization Header: Transferring Payload in Multiple Chunks (Chunked Upload) (AWS Signature Version 4).

x-amz-date

The current date and time according to the requester. Example: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 12:00:00 GMT. When you specify the Authorization header, you must specify either the x-amz-date or the Date header. If you specify both, the value specified for the x-amz-date header takes precedence.

x-amz-security-token

This header can be used in the following scenarios:

  • Provide security tokens for Amazon DevPay operations. Each request that uses Amazon DevPay requires two x-amz-security-token headers: one for the product token and one for the user token. When Amazon S3 receives an authenticated request, it compares the computed signature with the provided signature. Improperly formatted multi-value headers used to calculate a signature can cause authentication issues.
  • Provide a security token when using temporary security credentials. When making requests using temporary security credentials you obtained from IAM, you must provide a security token using this header. To learn more about temporary security credentials, go to Making Requests.

This header is required for requests that use Amazon DevPay and requests that are signed using temporary security credentials.
Query String

Add the desired query strings such as parameters or form fields.
Body

Add the body content for the API call in the form of a standard JSON object.

Note:

When using conditional statements such as if in your JSON, put the quotation marks outside of the conditional statement.
