Linux FAQs with Answers--How to create a new Amazon AWS access key
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
> **Question**: I was asked to provide an **AWS access key ID** and **secret access key** when configuring an application which requires access to my Amazon AWS account. How can I create a new AWS access key?
|
|
|
|
Amazon AWS security credentials are used to authenticate you and authorize any third-party application to access your AWS account. There are different types of AWS security credentials available, e.g., password, access key, multi-factor authentication, X.509 certificates, etc.
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a new access key (access key ID and secret access key), here is how to do it.
|
|
|
|
First, log in to [AWS console][1].
|
|
|
|
Choose "Security Credentials" menu from the top bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the next page, choose "Access Keys (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the next page, you will see a list of existing access key IDs (if any). Note that you cannot retrieve "secret access keys" of existing access key IDs. For security reason, a secret access key is visible only at the time you create a new access key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on "Create New Access Key", and it will create a new pair of access key ID and secret access key instantly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either download a key file which contains a new access key, or copy and paste a new access key information. Again remember. Once you close this window, the secret access key will not be available again unless you download a key file.
|
|
|

### Multi-User AWS Account ###
|
|
|
|
If you are a corporate which has a corporate AWS account shared by multiple employees, you may want to use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create and manage their access keys.
|
|
|
|
IAM is a web service which allows a corporate to manage multiple users and their associated security credentials under a single AWS account. Using IAM, multiple users can sign in as different identities under a single AWS account, and manage their own security credentials without tampering with each other's keys.
|
|
|
|
To manage IAM users, click on "Users" menu on the "Security Credentials" page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then you can create a new IAM user and manage their security credentials such as access keys.
