AWS_SECRET_KEY I need to rstrip('/r') on ubuntu or I get an error

[Kesten Broughton]

I'm on ubuntu 14.04

[(master)] ansible --version

ansible 1.8.2

If I just define AWS_SECRET_KEY,AWS_ACCESS_KEY in my bash env,

I get the following error with all ec2 modules.

boto.exception.EC2ResponseError: EC2ResponseError: 401 Unauthorized

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Response><Errors><Error><Code>AuthFailure</Code><Message>AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials</Message></Error></Errors><RequestID>9ad65772-2754-42ab-901b-ef9153276797</RequestID></Response>

If I add the aws_access_key and aws_secret_key and lookup the var, I get the same error unless I rstrip('\\r') .   I discovered the trailing '\r' by running with -vvvv .

group_vars/all

aws_secret_key: "{{lookup('env','AWS_SECRET_KEY').rstrip('\\r')}}"

aws_access_key: "{{lookup('env','AWS_ACCESS_KEY').rstrip('\\r')}}"

task I am running.

- route53:

      aws_access_key: "{{aws_access_key}}"

      aws_secret_key: "{{aws_secret_key}}"

      command: create

      zone: "{{aws_vpc.zone}}"

      record: my-record.org

      type: A

      ttl: 7200

      value: 1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3

Am I doing something wrong, or is this something I should make a bug report for?

I'm guessing you copied the key from a windows machine?

Hi Brian,

Actually, no windows machine involved.

I just go to the AWS manage keys and download the credentials.csv.

Then copied and pased into an aws.ini file.

I was using an ubuntu 14.04 machine.

I'll see if i can reproduce on my mac.
