Blob Storage with AWS parameter storage

Hello,

I've added a blob storage section to my web.config for use with AWS. See the section below.

My question is it possible to create a custom provider to read from my parameter store and populate the accesskey and the secret key at runtime.

I'm aware of the EpiServer.Framework.Blob library (https://world.optimizely.com/csclasslibraries/cms/EPiServer.Framework.Blobs.BlobProviderBuilder?version=11) but I'm unsure if it's possible to implement a solution using the provide classes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<episerver.framework updateDatabaseSchema="true" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" configBuilders="AwsParameterStoreBuilder">
<appData basePath="App_Data" xdt:Transform="Replace"/>

<securityEntity xdt:Transform="Remove" />

<blob defaultProvider="s3blobs" >
<providers>
<add name="s3blobs"
type="EPiServer.Amazon.Blobs.AmazonBlobProvider,EPiServer.Amazon"
accessKey=""
secretKey=""
region="us-west-2"
bucket="aapc-epi-dev"
xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"/>
</providers>
</blob>

Thank you,

Kevin Fox

Hi,

If I read code correctly, accessKey and secretKey are passed in via configuration.

Best I could think of is:

create new provider (inherit from AmazonBlobProvider)
override Initialize method
read secrets from the secure store and replace those in passed in NameValueCollection config parameter
call base Initialize method with mutated config object
