I’m trying to create a security group but there’s an error as below. Please suggest where I’m going wrong.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ClientError: An error occurred (AuthFailure) when calling the DescribeSecurityGroups operation: Credential must have exactly 5 slash-delimited elements, e.g. keyid/date/region/service/term, got ‘Dt4q191m7+gPbrnkQfEZT9QUoIWDVyq0ous/TS76/20180121/ap-southeast-2/ec2/aws4\_request,’
