dynamodb node js --- UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid

Question

i have an app connected to a local dynamodb, written in typescript on yop of node.js (express) using the aws-sdk. i am trying to connect to the locally running dynamo, and getting that error when trying to perform different operations (list table, delete table etc):

UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid.

cant resolve that, been trying for a whole day, configured local credentials for the aws console etc.

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think it's either the credentials are wrong, the region used is wrong or the credentials are invalid.
