Service connection

To access the OpenCAYLE storage service, you will need the endpoint and port information. Then, use an Access Key for authentication and finally connect to the system's active directory.


1. OpenCAYLE Server Information

  • Endpoint: ss3.scayle.es
  • Port: 443 (SSL)

2. Access from Active Directory

The Access Key to connect to OpenCAYLE is obtained through Active Directory (AD). A Base64 token is generated using the user's AD username and password.

⚠️ Important Notices

  • The Access Key should never be stored as a file's content.
  • It must be regenerated if the user changes their SCAYLE password.

3. Obtaining the Access Key

Method 1: Using OpenSSL

To generate the Access Key using OpenSSL, follow these steps:

  1. Create a text file named GenerateOpenCayleKEY.txt with the following content:

    {
        "RGW_TOKEN": {
            "version": 1,
            "type": "ad",
            "id": "YOUR_USERNAME",
            "key": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
        }
    }
  2. In the command line, execute the following command to generate the Base64 password:

    openssl base64 -A -in GenerateOpenCayleKEY.txt

Method 2: Generate the Access Key on a Web Page

  1. Visit base64encode.org.

  2. Enter the following JSON in the input field:

    {
        "RGW_TOKEN": {
            "version": 1,
            "type": "ad",
            "id": "USERID",
            "key": "PASSWORD"
        }
    }
    • USERID: Username provided by SCAYLE.
    • PASSWORD: User password, which SCAYLE does not store.
  3. Click ENCODE, and the generated information will be the user's Access Key for the OpenCAYLE service.
