[Solution] com.amazonaws.dynamodb.v20120810 MissingAuthenticationToken Key Id or X.509 certificate

If you have downloaded the standalone desktop version of DynamoDB on your device and when you try to run the server on http://localhost:8000/shell or 127.0.0.1/shell and you get the below error,

{"__type":"com.amazonaws.dynamodb.v20120810#

MissingAuthenticationToken","Message":"
Request must contain either a valid (registered)
AWS access key ID or X.509 certificate."}

Chrome Browser:

This site can't be reached
The webpage at http://localhost:8000/shell might be 
temporarily down or it may have moved 
permanently to a new web address.
ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE

Safari

Safari Can't Connect to the Server
Safari can't open the page "localhost:8000/shell/" 
because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost".

Reason:

DynamoDB Local Web Shell was deprecated with version 1.16.X and is not available any longer from 1.17.X to latest. There are no immediate plans for a new Web Shell to be introduced.

Solution:

- Download the old version of DynamoDB Local < 1.17.0

- Better to use DynamoDB Local on Docker Desktop with older image,

% docker pull dynamodb-local:1.16.0
