Update AWS VPC connection credentials

This task ensures continuous communication between Security Cloud Control Firewall Management and onboarded AWS resources when new access keys and secret access keys are created for the AWS VPC connection.

If you create a new access key and secret access key to connect to the AWS VPC, you must update the connection credentials in Security Cloud Control Firewall Management. To do this, first update the credentials in the AWS console. Next, update the credentials in the Security Cloud Control Firewall Management console by using this procedure. For more information, refer to Managing Access Keys for IAM Users (https://docs.AWS.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) or Creating, Disabling, and Deleting Access Keys for Your AWS Account Root User (https://docs.AWS.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/managing-AWS-access-keys.html).

You cannot change the access key or secret access key from Security Cloud Control Firewall Management. You must manually manage the connection credentials using the AWS console or the AWS CLI console.

Note	If multiple AWS VPCs are onboarded to your Security Cloud Control Firewall Management tenant, you must update the credentials for one device at a time.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Security Devices.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab, and then click AWS VPC.

Step 3

Select the AWS VPC whose connection credentials you want to update.

Step 5

Enter the new Access Key and Secret Access Key, which you want to use to connect to the AWS VPC.

Note

If Security Cloud Control fails to sync the device, the connectivity status in Security Cloud Control may display "Invalid Credentials." If this occurs, you may have entered an invalid username and password combination. For more information about troubleshooting invalid credentials, refer to Troubleshoot invalid credentials

The AWS VPC connection credentials are updated successfully, and Security Cloud Control Firewall Management can continue communicating with the onboarded AWS resources using the new credentials.
