AWS Kinesis is a platform on AWS to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data. It allows developers to build applications that can continuously ingest and process large streams of data records in real-time. Kinesis is commonly used for log and event data collection, real-time analytics, and more.
When working with AWS Kinesis, you might encounter the InvalidClientTokenId error. This error typically appears when attempting to authenticate or authorize requests to AWS services, including Kinesis.
Developers often see this error message in their application logs or AWS SDK responses when their application tries to access AWS Kinesis:
{
"__type": "InvalidClientTokenId",
"message": "The security token included in the request is invalid."
}
The InvalidClientTokenId error indicates that the AWS access key ID provided in the request does not exist or is incorrect. This can happen if the access key ID has been deleted, is incorrect, or if there is a typo in the credentials configuration.
To resolve the InvalidClientTokenId error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the AWS access key ID you are using is correct and exists in your AWS account. You can verify this by logging into the AWS IAM Console and checking your access keys under the 'Security Credentials' tab.
Double-check the AWS access key ID in your application's configuration files or environment variables for any typos or incorrect characters.
If the access key ID has been deleted or rotated, update your application with the new access key ID and secret access key. You can create a new access key in the IAM Console.
If you are using the AWS CLI, ensure that your credentials are correctly configured. You can do this by running the following command:
aws configure
This command will prompt you to enter your AWS access key ID, secret access key, region, and output format.
For more information on managing AWS credentials, refer to the AWS Security Credentials Documentation. If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to AWS Support for further assistance.
