trouble authenticating proxy / documentation of authentication for AWS #65

Closed EthanTheMathmo closed 2 years ago

EthanTheMathmo commented 2 years ago

Expected Behavior

I followed the docs here https://github.com/claffin/cloudproxy and here https://github.com/claffin/cloudproxy/blob/main/docs/aws.md I created environment variables, all alphanumerica, for USERNAME and PASSWORD. I created an IAM role as instructed, and I can see the EC2 instances. WHen using the toy example these are correctly filled in (i.e., instead of being changeme:changeme@ip it is user:password@ip).

Actual Behavior

WHen connecting to the proxy I get the error message: The administrator of this proxy has not configured it to service requests from you.

This is almost certainly from my misunderstanding the docs (as I haven't worked with AWS before). Are we meant to set the username and password somewhere in AWS too? I also tried creating a password for the IAM user and using that, but that isn't allowed to be alphanumeric. I'd also be happy to write some documentation for entry/beginners like myself once I get it up and running
