Connection Parameters

Markup |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Connection |
|
|
|
|
Indicates where Amazon Web Service user credentials and preferences should originate from. This is a design mode parameter used only during task construction and configuration, thus, comprises no markup. The available options are:
|
|
Session |
Text |
Yes if connection is session-based |
EC2Session1 |
SESSION="RDSSession1" |
The name of an existing session to attach this activity to. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Session. The default session name is 'RDSSession1'. |
|
Access key |
Text |
Yes if connection is host-based |
(Empty) |
ACCESSKEY= "022QF06E7MXBSH9DHM02" |
A 20-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies the owner of the AWS service account, similar to a username. This key along with a corresponding secret access key forms a secure information set that AWS uses to confirm a valid user's identity. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Host. |
|
Secret Access key |
Text |
Yes if connection is host-based |
(Empty) |
SECRETKEY= "kWcrlUX5JEDGM/LtmEENI/ aVmYvHNif5zB+d9+ct" |
A 40-character string that serves the role as password to access the AWS service account. This along with an associated access key forms a secure information set that EC2 uses to confirm a valid user's identity. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Host. |
|
User agent |
Text |
No |
AutoMate |
USERAGENT="AutoMate" |
The name of the client or application initiating requests to AWS. The default value is 'AutoMate'. |
|
Maximum retry on error |
Number |
No |
(Empty) |
MAXERRORRETRY="4" |
The total amount of times this activity should retry its request to the server before returning an error. Network components can generate errors anytime in the life of a request, thus, implementing retries can increase reliability. |
|
Service URL |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
SERVICEURL= "https://rds.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" |
The URL that provides the service endpoint. To make the service call to a different region, you can pass the region-specific endpoint URL. For example, entering https://rds.us-west-1.amazonaws.com points to US West (Northern California) region. A complete list of EC2 regions, accompanying endpoints and valid protocols can be found below under RDS Endpoints and Regions. |
|
Proxy host |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
PROXYHOST="proxy.host.com" |
The host name (e.g., server.domain.com) or IP address (e.g., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of the proxy server to use when connecting to AWS. |
|
Proxy port |
Number |
No |
(Empty) |
PROXYPORT="1028" |
The port that should be used to connect to the proxy server. |
|
Proxy username |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
PROXYUSER="username" |
The username that should be used to authenticate connection with the proxy server (if required). |
|
Proxy password |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
PROXYPWD="encrypted" |
The password that should be used to authenticate connection with the proxy server (if required). |
|
Signature method |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
SIGNMETHOD="HmacSHA256" |
The signature method to use for signing the request. This provides a valid hashing algorithm for signature calculation. Valid AWS signature methods are HmacSHA1 and HmacSHA256. |
|
Signature version |
Number |
No |
(Empty) |
SIGNVERSION="2" |
The signature version for signing the request. Valid AWS signature versions are 2 and 4. The difference with version 4 is that it allows you to sign your message using a key that is derived from your secret access key rather than using the secret access key itself. |
