How Do I Obtain an AK/SK Pair?

An access key ID and secret access key (AK/SK) constitute an access key.

  • AK: access key ID, which is a unique identifier used in conjunction with a secret access key to sign requests cryptographically.
  • SK: secret access key used in conjunction with an AK to sign requests cryptographically. It identifies a request sender and prevents the request from being modified.

Obtain and use the AK/SK of a public account.

Each user can create up to two AK/SK pairs. Once they are generated, they are permanently valid.

Ensure that the public account and AK/SK will not be deleted or disabled. If the AK/SK is deleted, the ICAgent cannot report data to LTS.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the console, hover the mouse pointer over the username in the upper right corner, and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.
  2. On the My Credentials page, choose Temporary Access Key.
  3. On the page displayed, click Create in the Operation column to generate an access key.

    Keep the AK/SK pair secure.
