Credentials

Environment Variable Name Description
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID
AWS_REGION
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Additional Configuration

Environment Variable Name Description
AWS_POLLING_INTERVAL Time between DNS propagation check
AWS_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT Maximum waiting time for DNS propagation
AWS_TTL The TTL of the TXT record used for the DNS challenge

Description

AWS Credentials are automatically detected in the following locations and prioritized in the following order:

  1. Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, [AWS_SESSION_TOKEN]
  2. Shared credentials file (defaults to ~/.aws/credentials)
  3. Amazon EC2 IAM role

If AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID is not set, Lego tries to determine the correct public hosted zone via the FQDN.
