But is it a requirement? > Dimuthu The access key cannot be the username because it is a 20 digit key. See http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/2009-02-01/SQSGettingStartedGuide/ So we need to do something to make it fit that. I'm still not clear if the secret key is stored separately or just something we calculate from their existing password?
