what is Different Reasons for IAM Login in AWS Console

0

The configuration is as follows:

  • Global Endpoint: "Valid only in the default activated AWS regions."
  • Regional Endpoint: "Valid in all AWS regions."
  • Endpoints: The global and US East (Northern Virginia: us-east-1) regions have the STS status set to "Always Active." All other regions are set to "Inactive." The account has an alias set.
  1. When logging into AWS Console IAM using the alias instead of the account ID, the login works correctly.
  2. When logging into AWS Console IAM using the account ID, the login does not work correctly.

Why is there a difference between these two cases?

Hello.

I think it is possible to sign in using the account ID even if you set an alias for your AWS account.
What error do I get when I try to sign in with my AWS account ID?

The original URL containing your AWS account ID remains active and can be used after you create your AWS account alias.

    There was an error message about the region. First of all, what I found was that I activated STS for all regions and then I logged in with AccountID. I also deleted the alias before that.

    I changed the settings on my AWS account to the same as yours and tried signing in using my AWS account ID, but I was able to access it successfully. Is it possible for you to share the exact error message?
