Adding Amazon EC3 fails

[gaadmin]

Hi all,

I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to add an amazon EC3 endpoint to my config.

I've generated the relevant auth keys and have added them to the config.

I need to go through a proxy server to get to the web, but it doesn't seem to work. I get:

Workflow "AmazonEC2EndpointDataCollection" failed with the following exception:  Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Inner Exception:  Unrecognized Guid format.

Has anyone seen this before?

TIA,
Alex

Could you post your full log from your DEM worker instance??

The log is huge, but I'm pretty sure this is the interesting part:

Well it looks like this error comes from a malformed guid related to the proxy credentials in the endpoint setup.  I'm not quite sure how that could happen, but maybe you could try going back through the endpoint setup and "reset" the credentials.  There's no reset button, so either delete then save and readd then save again them or if you're not using credentials add some fake ones then save and delete then save again.

Let us know your progress.
