Solution

  • play is the default alias(server connection) comes up with minio client.

    I first had to create an alias using minio client to connect to my minio server and then set policy like below,

    mc alias set <ALIAS> <YOUR-S3-ENDPOINT> [YOUR-ACCESS-KEY] [YOUR-SECRET-KEY] [--api API-SIGNATURE]
e.g., mc alias set minioserverxyz http://192.168.1.51 BKIKJAA5BMMU2RHO6IBB V7f1CwQqAcwo80UEIJEjc5gVQUSSx5ohQ9GSrr12 --api S3v4
#Then
mc admin policy set minioserverxyz readwrite user="{ldap-user}"
