-
using security credentials
-
-
Enter your Access Key ID. Scroll to the end of this page for more details.
-
Enter your Secret Access Key. Scroll to the end of this page for more details.
-
Choose a the region endpoint where your S3 endpoint is located.
-
Enter the name of the bucket you wish to process with MetaDefender for Secure Storage.

Where can I find the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
To generate an Access Key ID / Secret Access Key pair please follow these steps:
-
Log in to IAM Console and go to Users
-
In the Details pane, click the appropriate IAM user or create one if none exists
-
From the Security Credentials tab click Create Access Key
note
Note: If you already have the maximum of two access keys—active or inactive—you must delete one first before proceeding. If you need more than two root access keys, IAM users (each of whom can be assigned their own access keys) would probably better suit your requirements.
