Not using iam_role on ec2

[NelisVerhoef]

Hi, I'm trying to use the package but it does not use the ec2 role to locate the credentials.

As a work around I can just use my environmental variables as parameters like so:

queue <- create_queue(name = "...", key = Sys.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), secret = Sys.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'), session_token = Sys.getenv('AWS_SESSION_TOKEN') )

get_queue_url("SplicedSegmentsQ", key = Sys.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), secret = Sys.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'), session_token = Sys.getenv('AWS_SESSION_TOKEN') )

list_queues(key = Sys.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), secret = Sys.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'), session_token = Sys.getenv('AWS_SESSION_TOKEN') )

I'm more than happy to do this, but when trying to send_message I get this error:

In sqsHTTP(query = query_args, ...) : Client error: (403) Forbidden: InvalidClientTokenId (The security token included in the request is invalid.)

The problem is that when calling .urlFromName() it does not pass my additional parameters, so either we should just pass through the additional parameters or change the definition of sqsHTTP to look like this:

sqsHTTP <- function (url = NULL, query = list(), region = Sys.getenv("AWS_DEFAULT_REGION","us-east-1"), key = Sys.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'), secret = Sys.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'), session_token = Sys.getenv('AWS_SESSION_TOKEN'), ... )

So it will default to using the environmental variables instead of setting the fields to NULL.

Or am I missing something obvious?

Can you give me the output of sessionInfo() so that I can see all your package versions?

[NelisVerhoef]

Sure, output from sessioninfo():

What does aws.signature::locate_credentials() give you? It should be picking up the environment variables and therefore correctly signing the requests without needing to explicitly pass key, etc.

You've definitely picked up on a bug in .urlFromName(). I will fix that.

[NelisVerhoef]

aws.signature::locate_credentials() gives me everything I need, so I get a key, secret, session_token and region. But for some reason it gives me issues.

As a work around I have made local copies of send_msg, receive_msg and delete_message, where I just changed .urlFromName. Then If I explicitly pass environmental variables everything works as I would expect.

Thanks for the quick response.

The session_token in sqsHTTP is not being read from locate_credentials or environment like it should, and default arg value is NULL which is causing temporary credentials to not work.

More details at https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.signature/issues/19#issuecomment-335428004

It does work in s3HTTP, and in your workaround above, since it is using session_token = Sys.getenv("AWS_SESSION_TOKEN") in the argument list.

Should now be resolved. Let me know if not.
