Test Connection

To test that the submitted credentials are acceptable and that the firewall can successfully communicate with AWS, press Test Connection. This results in a number of tests being run from the firewall with the feedback being shown.

For example, suppose an invalid Access Key had been entered, the resulting pop-up dialog would show something like this:

Clicking Test Connection provides more information about the tests that were conducted, highlighting the failed task.

After closing the chain of pop-up dialogs, correcting the invalid Access Key and saving the new configuration, the Test Connection can be run again. If successful, the pop-up dialog would indicate that.

The configuration of AWS credentials is now complete. You can proceed to configure the firewall to send log events to AWS Cloud Watch Logs on the AWS Logs page, map EC2 Instances to Address Objects and Groups on the AWS Objects page and connect the firewall to Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) on the AWS VPN page.
