grouper sqs should take in region

Paul Rubenis Yesterday at 5:02 PM
Wonder if anyone has experience with the aws sqs messaging in grouper 2.4. We set up an aws sqs, configured grouper-loader.properties and grouper.client.properties. This was after reviewing the Grouper docs and sample configs. The system (grouper) is trying to send a message to the aws sqs queue, but throws an exception. The exception is that a region is not set. Looking through the code for the GrouperMessagingSqsSystem.java class, I could not find anything in the builder of the aws client that is setting a region. So not sure if this is supposed to be a Grouper property that needs to be set or some environment variable set at the OS level...

Yes!!!!
I found a way around it… Likely not ideal…but it worked for me.
If others know of a “better way” ( like in Grouper config settings? ) PLEASE let us know. :slightly_smiling_face:
The AWS clients look in the users “home directory” for a folder named “.aws” ( the dot is important )
And a file named “config”.
Add your region setting there. :slightly_smiling_face:
[default]
region = us-east-2
HTH.
