Using API access key#
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- The AWS Region: be sure to adjust this if you aren't using the default region
- The Access Key ID: provided when you generate an access key
- The Secret Access Key: provided when you generate an access key
Refer to the AWS Managing Access Keys documentation for instructions on generating and updating access keys.
Using a temporary security credential#
You can configure the access key as a temporary security credential by toggling the slider on.
If you select this option, you must add a Session token to the credential.
Refer to the AWS Temporary security credential documentation for more information on working with temporary security credentials.
Virtual Private Cloud usage (custom endpoint)#
If you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to host n8n, you can establish a connection between your VPC and these apps:
- Rekognition
- Lambda
- SNS
- SES
- SQS
- S3
To use these apps with a custom endpoint, toggle the Custom endpoint slider on and add the relevant custom endpoint(s).
If you don't add a custom endpoint, the n8n credential will use the default endpoint.
