UpdateLocationSmbCommand

Suggest an Edit

Modifies the following configuration parameters of the Server Message Block (SMB) transfer location that you're using with DataSync.

For more information, see Configuring DataSync transfers with an SMB file server .

Example Syntax

Use a bare-bones client and the command you need to make an API call.

import { DataSyncClient, UpdateLocationSmbCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-datasync"; // ES Modules import
// const { DataSyncClient, UpdateLocationSmbCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-datasync"); // CommonJS import
const client = new DataSyncClient(config);
const input = { // UpdateLocationSmbRequest
  LocationArn: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  Subdirectory: "STRING_VALUE",
  ServerHostname: "STRING_VALUE",
  User: "STRING_VALUE",
  Domain: "STRING_VALUE",
  Password: "STRING_VALUE",
  AgentArns: [ // AgentArnList
    "STRING_VALUE",
  ],
  MountOptions: { // SmbMountOptions
    Version: "AUTOMATIC" || "SMB2" || "SMB3" || "SMB1" || "SMB2_0",
  },
  AuthenticationType: "NTLM" || "KERBEROS",
  DnsIpAddresses: [ // DnsIpList
    "STRING_VALUE",
  ],
  KerberosPrincipal: "STRING_VALUE",
  KerberosKeytab: new Uint8Array(), // e.g. Buffer.from("") or new TextEncoder().encode("")
  KerberosKrb5Conf: new Uint8Array(), // e.g. Buffer.from("") or new TextEncoder().encode("")
};
const command = new UpdateLocationSmbCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
// {};

UpdateLocationSmbCommand Input

See UpdateLocationSmbCommandInput for more details

Parameter
Type
Description
LocationArn
Required
string | undefined

Specifies the ARN of the SMB location that you want to update.

AgentArns
string[] | undefined

Specifies the DataSync agent (or agents) that can connect to your SMB file server. You specify an agent by using its Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

AuthenticationType
SmbAuthenticationType | undefined

Specifies the authentication protocol that DataSync uses to connect to your SMB file server. DataSync supports NTLM (default) and KERBEROS authentication.

For more information, see Providing DataSync access to SMB file servers .

DnsIpAddresses
string[] | undefined

Specifies the IPv4 addresses for the DNS servers that your SMB file server belongs to. This parameter applies only if AuthenticationType is set to KERBEROS.

If you have multiple domains in your environment, configuring this parameter makes sure that DataSync connects to the right SMB file server.

Domain
string | undefined

Specifies the Windows domain name that your SMB file server belongs to. This parameter applies only if AuthenticationType is set to NTLM.

If you have multiple domains in your environment, configuring this parameter makes sure that DataSync connects to the right file server.

KerberosKeytab
Uint8Array | undefined

Specifies your Kerberos key table (keytab) file, which includes mappings between your Kerberos principal and encryption keys.

The file must be base64 encoded. If you're using the CLI, the encoding is done for you.

To avoid task execution errors, make sure that the Kerberos principal that you use to create the keytab file matches exactly what you specify for KerberosPrincipal.

KerberosKrb5Conf
Uint8Array | undefined

Specifies a Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf) that defines your Kerberos realm configuration.

The file must be base64 encoded. If you're using the CLI, the encoding is done for you.

KerberosPrincipal
string | undefined

Specifies a Kerberos prinicpal, which is an identity in your Kerberos realm that has permission to access the files, folders, and file metadata in your SMB file server.

A Kerberos principal might look like HOST/kerberosuserMYDOMAIN.ORG.

Principal names are case sensitive. Your DataSync task execution will fail if the principal that you specify for this parameter doesn’t exactly match the principal that you use to create the keytab file.

MountOptions
SmbMountOptions | undefined

Specifies the version of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol that DataSync uses to access an SMB file server.

Password
string | undefined

Specifies the password of the user who can mount your SMB file server and has permission to access the files and folders involved in your transfer. This parameter applies only if AuthenticationType is set to NTLM.

ServerHostname
string | undefined

Specifies the domain name or IP address of the SMB file server that your DataSync agent connects to.

Remember the following when configuring this parameter:

  • You can't specify an IP version 6 (IPv6) address.

  • If you're using Kerberos authentication, you must specify a domain name.

Subdirectory
string | undefined

Specifies the name of the share exported by your SMB file server where DataSync will read or write data. You can include a subdirectory in the share path (for example, /path/to/subdirectory). Make sure that other SMB clients in your network can also mount this path.

To copy all data in the specified subdirectory, DataSync must be able to mount the SMB share and access all of its data. For more information, see Providing DataSync access to SMB file servers .

User
string | undefined

Specifies the user name that can mount your SMB file server and has permission to access the files and folders involved in your transfer. This parameter applies only if AuthenticationType is set to NTLM.

For information about choosing a user with the right level of access for your transfer, see Providing DataSync access to SMB file servers .
