 * Our website utilizes the w3 total cache plugin to reduce page load time. In the
   CDN settings I have the CNAME set to our assets subdomain which is stored on 
   AWS servers. This has served us well for quite some time but recently, I am seeing
   the following errors when testing the CloudFront distribution:
 * Error: Error executing “ListDistributions” on “[https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2018-11-05/distribution&#8221](https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2018-11-05/distribution&#8221);;
   AWS HTTP error: Client error: `GET https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2018-11-05/
   distribution` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response: Sender< (truncated…) InvalidClientTokenId(
   client): The security token included in the request is invalid. – SenderInvalidClientTokenIdThe
   security token included in the request is invalid.1103ae12-9b51-4205-b36d-ba7520bb39f1
 * I havent yet been able to troubleshoot why I am receiving these errors.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-executing-listdistributions-aws-http-error-client-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@johnbennett1994](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnbennett1994/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Most likely
   the issue is with the permissions. Try generating a new API key and making sure
   that the distribution permissions are set to public. Let me know if this helps!
 * Thanks!
