Rich, I have noticed the same problem. In my case, while s3cmd would usually complain about not having permission when testing the credentials, it would work correctly when performing an action that the IAM credentials were permitted to. So, even though it says it wont work, it does.
I've never looked at the code, but I gather they're listing all the buckets on the account or something to test the credentials, which if you've clamped down the IAM role/user/group to only access specific buckets, obviously wont work. Hope that helps, at least until one of the s3cmd guys gets to you... --Jason On 7/4/2013 4:19 PM, Rich Mogull wrote: > Does anyone have hints on using s3cmd with IAM roles?
