[S3tools-general] IAM user or role?

[Bob Sutterfield]

I'm delighted to find such a tool as this, and eager to start syncing my
log files to S3 for consumption by EMR.

I have installed s3cmd version 1.5.0-alpha3
We have an IAM user "s3common" with an access key, but I can't find that it
has a secret key.
s3cmd --configure asks for both access and secret keys.
When will it ask for the user name, and where do I get the secret key?

Should I create a role instead? If so, how do I configure s3cmd?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi,

If you don't remember the secret key, better disable that credential and
create a new one.

Thanks,
Prakash

I'd be very impressed if anyone could actually "remember" the key!!!!

I was mistaken in my understanding of IAM and its handling of access/secret
key pairs.
Turns out a colleague - who had set up our IAM users and groups - had the
secret key.
With that, of course s3cmd works perfectly and we're in business.
Sorry for the red herring new-user question!
