Connection to IAM fails

[marko-tuononen]

I have setup certbot-s3front and everything on AWS side as per instructions. While executing command from the "How to use it" section (using my own credentials, etc)

certbot --agree-tos -a certbot-s3front:auth \
--certbot-s3front:auth-s3-bucket tuononen.eu \
--certbot-s3front:auth-s3-region eu-west-1 \
-i certbot-s3front:installer \
--certbot-s3front:installer-cf-distribution-id <<REMOVED>>  \
-d tuononen.eu

I receive the following error:

Found credentials in environment variables.
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): iam.Ireland.amazonaws.com
Starting new HTTPS connection (2): iam.Ireland.amazonaws.com

EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://iam.Ireland.amazonaws.com/"

As far as I have understood, endpoint for the IAM should be always https://iam.amazonaws.com (See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#iam_region).

What am I doing wrong? How to resolve this situation?

I have a similar problem. when I run " certbot --agree-tos -a certbot-s3front:auth" on my machine.
i get:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python27\lib\runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "c:\python27\lib\runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "C:\Python27\Scripts\certbot.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module> File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\certbot\main.py", line 17, in <module> from certbot import account File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\certbot\account.py", line 21, in <module> from certbot import util File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\certbot\util.py", line 23, in <module> from certbot import lock File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\certbot\lock.py", line 3, in <module> import fcntl ImportError: No module named fcntl

Why is it connecting to iam.ireland? Were you able to figure out the issue?

[marko-tuononen]

Did not find solution on this. Using now certificates provided by Amazon instead.
