Best way to authenticate boto3??

kksjunior last edited by

Hello All,

I'm building a Python based desktop application to work with some AWS services. The application has a front-end built with the kivy framework and AWS boto3 being the primary tool in the back-end. So my aim is to access services such as AWS IoT & DynamoDB using this application.

The question is, according to AWS standards, we've three modes of authentication for boto3 to access AWS servers.

1. X.509 certificates
2. IAM Authentication
3. Cognito Identities

X.509 certificates are mostly preferred for embedded devices and not in applications.

That leaves me with 2 options, either IAM or Cognito.

I'm not convinced with the idea of hard coding credentials into our code.

In such a case which one of these is a better way of authentication and why?

Do we really have a problem if we hard-code IAM credentials in our application code?

@Anudeep Thanks a lot m8, I actually made a very silly mistake of including the https:// while entering FIREBASE_HOST, where I must have entered the Domain name alone and removed the https:// extension.

Thanks again for replying that quick. Cheers.

Hello @Palani, In the Firebase, there are two types of storage,
Cloud Firestore (Very recent one & NoSQL database) Realtime Database (To which we upload the data using NodeMCU)
In the Arduino Code, you can see that there is a variable named FIREBASE_AUTH.

This variable should be assigned to the Database secret. This you can find in Project Settings -> Service accounts -> Database Secrets.

My mistake is, i have mistakenly assigned thay to Web API key. This is found at Project Settings -> General.

The error can also occur when u don't initialise a proper realtime database in Firebase. (This is not my case).

@kowshik1729 If you are using an external high-speed switch, there is only one one clock generator for both wifi and BLE and the high-speed switch you mentioned is Ultra-Wideband (UWB) 3–8 GHz from its datasheet

you also check this solution that I shared in the previous post.

@salmanfaris said in BT and WiFi Dual Core simultaneous operation using ESP32?:

There is a special option called “Software controls WiFi/ Bluetooth coexistence” it can control the ESP32's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi coexistence using software, more details: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/ESP32_FAQs__EN.pdf
