Note: Amazon Web Services (AWS) uses the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key information from your Amazon.com account to identify you and allow access to AWS. The Access Key ID and Secret Access Key are not the same as the user name and password that you use to access the AWS console. You can create new or access existing AWS access IDs and access keys from the AWS Console. If the Use alternate S3 provider check box is not selected, MOVEit Automation automatically routes to the Amazon endpoint based on the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. A URL is not required.
