To provide credentials for AWS Version 2 authentication, you use the Authorization request header with a value in the format shown below:
Authorization: AWS access-key:signature
In this format:
•access-key is the Base64-encoded username for your user account.
•signature is a value calculated using your secret key and specific elements of the S3 compatible request, including the date and time of the request. Your secret key is the MD5-hashed password for your user account.
Because the signature for an S3 compatible request is based on the request contents, it differs for different requests.
For more information about signatures, see Signatures. For information about changing the password for your user account, see Changing your password.
Here’s an example of an Authorization header for AWS Version 2 authentication:
Authorization: AWS bGdyZWVu:vQ/rj3y0AUjWsht9M5aQw4+D0dA=
