DreamObjects cluster migration
DreamHost is currently in the process of migrating all DreamObjects accounts to a new hardware platform.
Please review this article to identify the cluster your DreamObjects account currently resides on and the features it supports.
Overview
Each user has at least one Key Pair set which consists of the following:
- a 20 character Access Key (similar to a username for a bucket), and
- a 40 character Secret Key (similar to a password for a bucket and automatically generated).
The panel uses these credentials to access your buckets and objects.
Viewing your keys
To view your keys, click on your username.
The Secret Key does not display by default. Click the Show Secret Key link to view the Secret Key.
- Most third-party clients like Cyberduck, as well as APIs and tools that are written using the API, also use these credentials to gain access to the DreamObjects programmatic cluster.
- A user can have multiple keys to provide fine-grain access.
- Removing a key pair removes access for any application using it.
Copying your Access Key
As a convenience, when you click an Access Key or Secret Key the text is selected (though not copied to the clipboard). Once the key is highlighted, you can copy it.
Windows
Ctrl + C to copy.
Ctrl + V to paste.
Mac
(Command key) + C to copy.
(Command key) + V to paste.

Deleting the Key Pair will result in a loss of access for all clients and scripts that have been using that Key Pair.
