Pyxis Pickup

Below is an example of a FarEarth Pickup configuration for Pyxis. Pyxis is a native blob storage provider built into FarEarth.

note

Access to Pyxis is provided via HTTPS connections, using TLS. FarEarth will check the certificates of the provided URL.

{
    "id": "farearth.my-pyxis-pickup-0",
    "protocol": "pyxis",
    "readOnly": true,
    "deactivated": false,
    "attachParameters": {
        "sendNotification": false
    },
    "properties": {
        "baseUrl": "https://my.server.local:443/",
        "box": "pickup",
        "password": "..."
    }
}

The required properties for Pyxis are listed below.

Field	Details
baseUrl	Base URL (hostname) of the HTTPS endpoint
box	Name of the box as it is configured on Pyxis
password	Secure secret to access the box, as configured on Pyxis

FarEarth uses a secure data transfer mechanism, where the access credentials, including the password, never leave the FarEarth server where it is configured (example, the Gateway). This means that even if other FarEarth components, running in other security realms, require access to the data in the box, it requests the access via the Gateway, using industry-standard secure communication. Data is retrieved via short-lived, access-constrained, and pre-signed URLs.
