Token Invalid Error when Using AWS CLI

Question

Hi, this might be a less intelligent question but I have my AWS account in Isengar, I copied the temporary credential including AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SESSION_TOKEN to CloudDesktop/Mac, it gives me the error "The security token included in the request is invalid" when I use AWS CLI.

Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the region: Make sure that the region you're using in the AWS CLI command matches the region of the temporary credentials.

2. Check the IAM user permissions: Make sure that the IAM user associated with the temporary credentials has the necessary permissions to perform the action you're trying to do.

3. Check the time on the CloudDesktop/Mac: Make sure the time on the CloudDesktop/Mac is in sync with the time on the Internet. Sometimes, the temporary credentials are time-sensitive, and if the time on your computer is off, the credentials will not work.

4. Try to use the session token: when you use the AWS CLI command, make sure to use the session token to authenticate as well.

5. Check the credentials path: Make sure that the credentials are saved in the default location, or if you have defined a path in your AWS CLI configuration file.
