Continuing the discussion from [Issue with s3 repository](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/issue-with-s3-repository/114542/17):

I am facing exactly the same issue. I know that the access key and secret key are set to correct values when I enter them from command line. But when I try to create the snapshot using the below arguments, am getting an invalid access key error.  
{  
type: 's3',  
settings: {  
bucket: 'my-bucket',  
endpoint: '[my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com](http://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com)'  
}

Error when I try to do 'PUT' using '/\_snapshot/myapi', I get this error.  
{ type: 'i\_o\_exception',  
reason: 'Unable to upload object [tests-2bkb7DnQRbuOcJFSh0LlmQ/master.dat] using a single upload',  
caused\_by:  
{ type: 'amazon\_s3\_exception',  
reason: 'The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records. (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 403; Error Code:  
InvalidAccessKeyId; Request ID: E58DEF25A73D7DEF; S3 Extended Request ID: H5sRO1Cfz36di+1NV+Z/KVIYIz+DZN3HnojoPGUjSqm+WzWIPWFhjWQjt2

Is there a known issue with elasticsearch-keystore?
