Overview

To authenticate with AWS Multi-Service, you will need:
  1. Access Key ID - A unique identifier that specifies the IAM user or role making the request.
  2. Secret Access Key - A confidential key used to sign API requests made to AWS services.
This guide will walk you through finding these credentials within AWS.
Developer settings — the AWS Service (e.g. s3, athena, inspector2) and Region (e.g. us-east-1) are configured by the developer when setting up the integration in Nango, not by the end user. Each integration targets a single service and region. End users only need to provide their Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

​
Prerequisites:

  • You must have a registered account with AWS.
  • The IAM user must have permissions for the AWS service targeted by this integration.

​
Instructions:

​
Step 1: Finding your access keys

  1. Log in to your AWS IAM console.
  2. In the navigation bar on the upper right, select your user name, and then select Security credentials.
  1. In the Access keys section, click Create access key. If you already have two access keys, this button is deactivated and you must delete an access key before you can create a new one.
  1. On the Access key best practices & alternatives page, choose your use case to learn about additional options which can help you avoid creating a long-term access key. If you determine that your use case still requires an access key, click Other and then click Next.
  2. Once you are done, a pair of both Access and Secret Access keys will be generated.

​
Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your keys:
  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with AWS.
  2. Enter the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key in their respective fields.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to AWS Multi-Service.
