Create or Edit AWS Credentials

You must complete Set up access to AWS for Asset Discovery before creating credentials.

To create AWS credentials: 

  1. In Administration, under the Cloud Asset Discovery node, select Credentials. If you created credentials previously, a list of credentials for profiles to discover cloud assets is displayed. Create new credentials by clicking the + sign in the top-right hand corner to add a row.

  1. Enter a Name, Description (optional), and select AWS as the Provider, which will prompt more fields to display. In the AWS Application drop-down list, select Add Application. Enter a Name, AWS Access Key ID, and the AWS Secret Access Key (Tip: You made note of these when setting up AWS for discovery). The AWS Secret Access Key will then populate as shown below. Click Save().

To edit a credential: 

Click the Pencil icon to the right of the credential name and make your changes.

Note: Some fields may be read-only.

 

 

Once you've created the credential, you can set up the Discovery Profile.
