How can I resolve the error "The security token included in the request is invalid" when running aws iam upload-server-certificate?
15:24 03 Jan 2016

I cd into the directory where all the pem/key files are and run the following:

aws iam upload-server-certificate 
    --server-certificate-name certificate_name 
    --certificate-body file://webservercertificate.pem  
    --private-key file://server.key   
    --certificate-chain file://certificate_chain_file.pem 

I get the following error:

A client error (InvalidClientTokenId) occurred when calling the UploadServerCertificate operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.

I have 1 'user' in 'users'. That user has been assigned the following permissions:

IAMFullAccess IAMReadOnlyAccess IAMUserSSHKeys

I've downloaded the credentials for this user and put them into my user variables

AWS_ACCESS_KEY ****
AWS_SECRET_KEY ****

I have 1 role on my elastic beanstalk aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role
