IIS上的Boto3授权

Question

I'm setting up a Django application on IIS with boto3. I got the application running however I'm unable to query any data from AWS due to no profile configuration being detected.

I tried running the application as a service account with AWS permissions. Giving the account R/W permissions to folder. Adding AWSProfileName and AWSProfilesLocation to web.config file I have double checked all common issues regarding this error, however, I think that my configuration might be wrong (perhaps in the web.config file)

Web.Config file:

<add key="AWSProfileName" value="Name_of_profile"/>
<add key="AWSProfilesLocation" value="Path_to_credentials_folder"/>

The error I'm getting: The config profile (Profile_Name) could not be found

Answer 1

So I have figured this out.

In my code I was using session to connect to AWS Session(Name_of_role) . The parameter should be empty: Session()

In the web.config file:

<add key="AWSProfileName" value="aws-dev"/>
<add key="AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" value=""/>
<add key="aws_secret_access_key" value=""/>
<add key="aws_session_token" value=""/>
<add key="AWS_DEFAULT_REGION" value="us-east-1" />

What happened?

Python is using environmental variables through wfastcgi which means that it takes environmental variables from the web.config file under <appSettings> tag. The necessary configuration that I had to use was under boto3 documentation .
