To answer my own question: In the WebUI where one inputs the credentials, use  https  for the host instead of the auto-added  http
Hi  ReassuredTiger98
To separate between minio and S3 we use:
s3://bucket/file  for AWS S3 service and  s3://server :port/bucket/file  for minio.
this means if your S3 links would have been  s3://<minio-address>:<port>/bucket/file.bin   the UI would have popped the cred window.
Make sense ?
Hmm, in the credentials popup there should be a "secure connect" checkbox, it tells it to use https instead of http. Can you verify?
Yes, that works fine. Just the http vs https was the problem. The UI will automatically change  s3://<minio-address>:<port>  to  http://<minio-address>:<port>   in  http://myclearmlserver.org/settings/webapp-configuration . However what is needed for me is  https://<minio-address>:<port>
