The authorization mechanism you have provided is n

Question

I get an error AWS::S3::Errors::InvalidRequest The authorization mechanism you have provided is not supported. Please use AWS4-HMAC-SHA256. when I try upload file to S3 bucket in new Frankfurt region. All works properly with US Standard region.

Script:

backup_file = '/media/db-backup_for_dev/2014-10-23_02-00-07/slave_dump.sql.gz'
s3 = AWS::S3.new(
    access_key_id:     AMAZONS3['access_key_id'],
    secret_access_key: AMAZONS3['secret_access_key']
)

s3_bucket = s3.buckets['test-frankfurt']

# Folder and file name
s3_name = "database-backups-last20days/#{File.basename(File.dirname(backup_file))}_#{File.basename(backup_file)}"

file_obj = s3_bucket.objects[s3_name]
file_obj.write(file: backup_file)

aws-sdk (1.56.0)

How to fix it?

Thank you.

Answer 1

For thumbor-aws, that used boto config, i needed to put this to the $AWS_CONFIG_FILE

[default]
aws_access_key_id = (your ID)
aws_secret_access_key = (your secret key)
s3 =
    signature_version = s3

So anything that used boto directly without changes, this may be useful

Answer 2

With boto3, this is the code :

s3_client = boto3.resource('s3', region_name='eu-central-1')

and

s3_client = boto3.client('s3', region_name='eu-central-1')

Answer 3

I had been using Django, and I had to add these extra config variables to make this work. (in addition to settings mentioned in https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2017/08/01/how-to-setup-amazon-s3-in-a-django-project.html).

AWS_S3_REGION_NAME = "ap-south-1"

AWS_S3_SIGNATURE_VERSION = "s3v4"

Answer 4

For Android SDK, setEndpoint solves the problem, although it's been deprecated.

CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider(
                context, "identityPoolId", Regions.US_EAST_1);
AmazonS3 s3 = new AmazonS3Client(credentialsProvider);
s3.setEndpoint("s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com");
