Mike thanks, I had gone to AWS today and saw that there was no 'private key' which is what it used to be called - but that it was now a secret key - so glad that you see the same thing as me. Nicole On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 6:54 PM, <mcmlists@people.net.au> wrote:

Hi Nicole,

My statement that "what we call the Amazon private key is really the Amazon Secret Access Key" was based on the following: I have just set up my Amazon associate ID and AWS access keys in Amazon, and the site described two keys as follows: (this is cut and pasted from Amazon's Associates' "Manage your account" page:) You will need access identifiers to call the Product Advertising API, authenticate requests and identify yourself as the sender of a request. Two types of identifiers are available: AWS Access Key Identifiers (Public and Secret Keys) and X.509 Certificates.

The site guides you to set up the Public and Secret keys.  It does not mention a "Private key".  So I assumed that what you referred to in the 3.2 manual as a "Private Key" was meant to indicate Amazon's "Secret Key". But perhaps you had something else in mind?

Unfortunately I can't test this as I'm on Liblime's Koha Express, which is still back in Koha 3.00.02.012 and has no system preference entries for Amazon reviews or for the Secret/Private key.

Hi all,

I want to confirm that what we call the Amazon private key is really the Amazon Secret Access Key.  If so I want to update the language in the manual and the sys prefs page -but I want to be sure before I do that.
