Nimble Studio File Transfer: UI bug - Passing IAM credentials

To perform uploads to Nimble Studio File Transfer buckets, customers need to add vendor details in Nimble Studio File Transfer (NSFT) UI where IAM credentials [Access keys] associated with IAM user need are required to have access to S3 buckets.

Credentials block is misleading by prompting to provide Access keys in format [Access key ID / Secret Access key]. Providing credentials like that will create an error while uploading.

Credentials pop-up is misleading in NSFT UI. Customers should provide Named profile created from AWS CLI by configuring the profile.

Resolution

Create Named profile

• From CMD [ Windows ] / Terminal [ Linux / Mac ] by installing AWS CLI

• Command to create named profile:

  aws configure --profile [profile name] - profile name defined here is added in Credentials block while adding Vendor in NSFT UI
  

• By passing above command, it prompts for Access keys. Pass the Access keys of IAM user created for NSFT with necessary S3 Access permissions policy attached.
