Property Manager Name: Origin Characteristics
Specifies characteristics of the origin. Akamai uses this information to optimize your metadata configuration, which may result in better origin offload and end-user performance.
See also clientCharacteristics and various product-specific behaviors whose names are prefixed contentCharacteristics.
Options
- country (enum string): Specifies the origin’s geographic region or UNKNOWN to defer any optimizations based on geography. Regions include GLOBAL_MULTI_GEO, EUROPE, NORDICS, GERMANY, UNITED_KINGDOM, ITALY, INDIA, JAPAN, TAIWAN, ASIA_PACIFIC, AUSTRALIA, LATIN_AMERICA, MEXICO, SOUTH_AMERICA, US_CENTRAL, US_EAST, US_WEST, NORTH_AMERICA, OTHER_AMERICAS, OTHER_APJ (Asia, Pacific, Japan), OTHER_EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), or ADC for Akamai Direct Connection, available to Adaptive Media Delivery customers.
- directConnectGeo (string): With country set to ADC, provides a region used by Akamai Direct Connection.
- authenticationMethod (enum string): Specifies the authentication method, either AWSV4 (Amazon Web Services), GCS_HMAC_AUTHENTICATION (Google Cloud Platform), or AUTOMATIC. With the Adaptive Media Delivery product, choose additional SIGNATURE_HEADER_AUTHENTICATION or MSL_AUTHENTICATION options.
- encodingVersion (numeric enum): With authenticationMethod set to SIGNATURE_HEADER_AUTHENTICATION, specifies the version of the encryption algorithm, an integer from 1 to 5.
- useCustomSignString (boolean): With authenticationMethod set to SIGNATURE_HEADER_AUTHENTICATION, specifies whether to customize your signed string.
- customSignString (array of string values): With useCustomSignString enabled, specifies the data to be encrypted as a sequence of concatenated strings. The array may include any of the following enumerated values: AK_CLIENT_REAL_IP, AK_DOMAIN, AK_EXTENSION, AK_FILENAME, AK_HOSTHEADER, AK_METHOD, AK_PATH, AK_QUERY, AK_SCHEME, and AK_URL. See Support for variables for guidance.
- secretKey (string): Specifies the shared secret key.
- nonce (string): Specifies the nonce.
- mslkey (string): With authenticationMethod set to MSL_AUTHENTICATION, specifies the access key provided by the hosting service.
- mslname (string): With authenticationMethod set to MSL_AUTHENTICATION, specifies the origin name provided by the hosting service.
- accessKeyEncryptedStorage (boolean): With authenticationMethod set to GCS_HMAC_AUTHENTICATION or AWSV4, enables secure use of access keys defined in Cloud Access Manager. Access keys store encrypted authentication details required to sign requests to cloud origins. If you disable this option, you’ll need to store the authentication details unencrypted.
- gcsAccessKeyVersionGuid (string): With authenticationMethod set to GCS_HMAC_AUTHENTICATION and accessKeyEncryptedStorage enabled, this identifies the unique gcsAccessKeyVersionGuid access key created in Cloud Access Manager to sign your requests to Google Cloud Storage in interoperability mode.
- gcsHmacKeyAccessId (string): With authenticationMethod set to GCS_HMAC_AUTHENTICATION and accessKeyEncryptedStorage disabled, this specifies the active access ID linked to your Google account.
- gcsHmacKeySecret (string): With authenticationMethod set to GCS_HMAC_AUTHENTICATION and accessKeyEncryptedStorage disabled, this specifies the secret linked to the access ID that you want to use to sign requests to Google Cloud Storage.
- awsAccessKeyVersionGuid (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS and accessKeyEncryptedStorage enabled, this identifies the unique awsAccessKeyVersionGuid access key created in Cloud Access Manager to sign your requests to AWS S3.
- awsAccessKeyId (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS and accessKeyEncryptedStorage disabled, this specifies active access key ID linked to your AWS account.
- awsSecretAccessKey (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS and accessKeyEncryptedStorage disabled, this specifies the secret linked to the access key identifier that you want to use to sign requests to AWS.
- awsRegion (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS, this specifies the AWS region code of the location where your bucket resides.
- awsHost (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS, this specifies the AWS hostname, without http:// or https:// prefixes. If you leave this option empty, it inherits the hostname from the origin behavior.
- awsService (string): With authenticationMethod set to AWS, this specifies the subdomain of your AWS service. It precedes amazonaws.com or the region code in the AWS hostname. For example, s3.amazonaws.com.
