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 pair 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 pair will not be deleted or disabled. If the AK/SK pair is deleted, 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. Choose Access Keys.
  3. Click Create Access Key above the list and enter a description.
  4. Click OK and download the AK/SK pair immediately. Keep the AK/SK pair secure.
