Before using the OVH Cloud Object storage Actions inside Anatella, you need to get the 4 parameters:
•User name (Parameter P4)
•Password (Parameter P5)
•Tenant Name (Parameter P6)
•Container URL (Parameter P3)
…from the OVH website. Here are the steps to get these 4 parameters:
1.Open the URL https://www.ovh.com/auth/ and “log-in” using your normal “Login” and “Password” for OVH:
2.If this is the first time that you are using the OVH Cloud Object storage:
2.1 Create an OVH project
In the top menu, click on “Public Cloud” and then click on the “Create ..project” button:
Enter a project name (in the screenshot below, we used “snapshots” but you can use any name), check the checkbox and click “Continue”:
Confirm your payment method and click on the “Create my project” button:
After a few seconds, your project is created.
2.2. Create a new user:
In the top menu, click on “Public Cloud” :
In the left menu, click on “Users & Roles”:
Click the “Create User” button:
Give a name to the new user and click the “Next” button:
Give the “Administrator” role and “ObjectStore Operator” role to this new user and confirm:
You finally get your new user.
At this point, please note carefully the Anatella parameter P5 (password) and the Anatella parameter P4 (user name) .
You should store very carefully the above password since there is no way to retrieve it later (you can generate a brand-new password but not retrieve an old one).
Click on the icon and select “Download Openstack’s RC file”:
Select the Data Center that hosts your files and click the “Download” button:
Open the downloaded file (“openrc.sh”) inside notepad.
The Anatella parameter P6 (tenant name) is visible here:
2.3. Create a new Container:
In the left menu, click on “Object Storage”:
Click on the “Create an object container” button:
Select the Data Center(“Region”) that will hold your files , Select the “type of container” , give a name to the container and, finally, click the “Create Container button”:
You have now a brand-new container.
If you opted for the “Solution 2 (the more complex solution)” described in the previous section 5.22.59.1., you’ll need to create a second container whose name ends with “_segments”. We did exactly that (i.e. we created a second container) in the screenshot below. Click now on your (first) container:

If you lost your parameter P5 (password), you can create a new password here
Please make sure that you selected a user that can access the Object Storage (i.e. the “roles” of this user must contain “ObjectStore Operator”). Alternatively, create a brand-new user with the correct “roles”, following the procedure given in the point 2.2. here above.
Open the downloaded file (“openrc.sh”) inside notepad.
