Refer to [AWS's Identity and Access Management documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/getting-started.html){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information about the service. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Using API access key |
|
|
|
|
|
To configure this credential, you'll need an [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/){:target=_blank .external-link} account and: |
|
|
|
|
|
- Your AWS **Region** |
|
|
- The **Access Key ID**: Generated when you create an access key. |
|
|
- The **Secret Access Key**: Generated when you create an access key. |
|
|
|
|
|
To create an access key and set up the credential: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. In your n8n credential, select your AWS **Region**. |
|
|
1. Log in to the [IAM console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam){:target=_blank .external-link}. |
|
|
2. In the navigation bar on the upper right, select your user name and then select **Security credentials**. |
|
|
3. In the **Access keys** section, select **Create access key**. |
|
|
4. On the **Access key best practices & alternatives page**, choose your use case. If it doesn't prompt you to create an access key, select **Other**. |
|
|
5. Select **Next**. |
|
|
6. Set a **description** tag value for the access key to make it easier to identify, for example `n8n integration`. |
|
|
7. Select **Create access key**. |
|
|
8. Reveal the **Access Key ID** and **Secret Access Key** and enter them in n8n. |
|
|
10. To use a **Temporary security credential**, turn that option on and add a **Session token**. Refer to the [AWS Temporary security credential documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information on working with temporary security credentials. |
|
|
11. If you use [Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)](https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/){:target=_blank .external-link} to host n8n, you can establish a connection between your VPC and some apps. Use **Custom Endpoints** to enter relevant custom endpoint(s) for this connection. This setup works with these apps: |
|
|
- Rekognition |
|
|
- Lambda |
|
|
- SNS |
|
|
- SES |
|
|
- SQS |
|
|
- S3 |
|
|
|
|
|
You can also generate access keys through the AWS CLI and AWS API. Refer to the [AWS Managing Access Keys documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html){:target=_blank .external-link} for instructions on generating access keys using these methods. |
