Description Dan Macpherson 2016-04-29 05:14:56 UTC
I'm testing the EC2 Compute Resources in Satellite 6.2. However, I try to add my EC2 account details and click Load Regions. It fails to load the regions and returns the following error:

"AuthFailure => AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials"

production.log shows the following:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foreman-ec2.noarch.1.11.0.17-1.el7sat

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add EC2 provider in UI
2. Click "Load Regions"

Actual results:
Error appears

Expected results:
No error appears, region list should appear

Additional info:
foreman-ec2 didn't seem to be install with a default Satellite 6.2 Beta installation, so I installed this package separately.

I should also note, I tested out my AWS key pair with the aws command line tool and they seem to work fine. I've tried multiple times re-entering my AWS key pair and it doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty sure this isn't a PEBKAC error.

Comment 2 Dan Macpherson 2016-05-16 02:23:01 UTC
Found out what was causing it. My Satellite Server's time was off by two hours, which screwed up the authentication. After installing and configuring ntpd, the authentication worked!
