How Do I Obtain an AK/SK Pair?

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

  • AK: unique access key ID associated with an SK. It is used together with the SK to sign requests.
  • 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. Choose Access Keys.
  3. Click Create Access Key above the list and enter a description.
  4. Click OK, and download the AK/SK immediately.

    Keep the AK/SK pair secure.
