错误（403）：403禁止对OpenStack使用euca2ools

Question

I want to use ecua2ools against openstack nova service and AWS EC2. I have managed to get it working for AWS. I am trying to do the same for openstack.

I installed devstack from here . But, I couldn't see EC2 API on horizon. So, I installed back using this . Now, I could see the EC2 API option. I downloaded the EC2 credentials .

Then, I created /etc/euca2ools/euca2ools.ini file and I had the following contents inside.

[user mv2-dev]
key-id = df20573bf4554a369f61641b21e6c659
secret-key = 5b83c91991d141c9ac009010fc71c384

[region local]
ec2-url = http://192.168.100.103:8788/
user = mv2-dev

[global]
default-region = local

When I run this command euca-describe-images , I get the following error.

euca-describe-images: error (403): 403 Forbidden

Timestamp failed validation.

I am not sure where do I check more logs for it.

You most likely have a time difference between your server and the workstation. Use NTP to keep the clocks synchronised.
