          You don't.



          AWS_SESSION_TOKEN is not used when you have IAM User access and secret keys.



          It's only needed when you use IAM Role - either through Cross-account access, or EC2 instance role, etc.

          • The error is because you most likely have a session token set in you shell. Unset it and you'll be fine.

          • @Vandhana run env | grep ^AWS_ and update your question with the output. I'll tell you what's wrong then. Also - are you on EC2 instance or on your laptop?

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
