Step 1 Set up AWS IoT | Documentation Active

Before using the btibAWS IoT you must first have an AWS account, follow this link to do so: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/

Setup API Key

Niagara needs an API key to access AWS IoT Services and manage devices:

Go to the IAM service on the AWS console.
Then Users
Click the Add Users button
Give a username to your user, then click next.
Then Attach policies directly, Then hit Create policy. A new tab will open.
Select the Iot service
Allow All IoT actions
Allow All resources, then hit Next
Give your policy a name, make sure that you have full access on the summary. finally hit Create policy
Now go back to the "Add user" page hit refresh (top right), look for your policy on the search field, select it and click Next.
Add tags (optional). Then hit Next
Finally hit Create User.
Your User was successfully created. Click on View user
Go in the Security credentials Tab and create an access key
Select Third-party service, check the "I understand..." checkbox and click Next
Click on Create access key
Retrieve you Access keys (either copy paste your values or download the .csv file). Keep them they will be needed to setup the connector in your workbench

AWS uses Asymmetric keys for device authentication and authorization.

To create a key pair and a certificate follow these steps:

Go to the IoT Core service on the AWS console.
Then security → Certificates
On the top right corner hit Add certificate.
Then Select Auto-generate new certificate, select Active and hit Create
Download the certificate, the public key (optional) and the private key
You will also need the AWS CA key file, you can download it here: VeriSign-Class 3-Public-Primary-Certification-Authority-G5.pem.
Now go to Security > Policies and hit Create Policy
Give your policy a name. select the "Allow" policy effect, and put "*" in the policy action and policy resource. Then hit Create
Go back to certificates. Choose the certificate you created earlier (check the date).
Under Actions select Attach policy
Select your policy then hit Attach.
Now note down your certificate ARN, we will need it later.

Finally you will need your API endpoint

To find it follow these steps:

Let's recap, after all theses steps you should have 6 things:

The credentials csv file for AWS user that contains the client access id and secret.
The certificate file.
The private key file.
The public key file (optional).
The AWS CA key file.
The ARN certificate
And last but not least the API Endpoint

Congrats !!! You finished the AWS setup go to next step:
