# Running OpenSearch Benchmark with AWS Signature Version 4
OpenSearch Benchmark supports AWS Signature Version 4 authentication. To run Benchmark with Signature Version 4, use the following steps:
2023-10-25 14:22:51 -04:00
1. Set up an [IAM user or an IAM Role ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create.html ) and provide it access to the OpenSearch cluster using Signature Version 4 authentication.

2. Set up the following environment variables for your IAM user:
```bash
2023-10-25 14:22:51 -04:00
export OSB_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=< IAM USER AWS ACCESS KEY ID >
export OSB_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=< IAM USER AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY >
export OSB_REGION=< YOUR REGION >
export OSB_SERVICE=es
```
{% include copy.html %}
If you want to set up an IAM role instead of an IAM user, use the following environment variables instead:
```bash
export OSB_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=< IAM Role AWS ACCESS KEY ID >
export OSB_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=< IAM Role AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY >
export OSB_AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=< IAM Role SESSION TOKEN >
export OSB_REGION=< YOUR REGION >
export OSB_SERVICE=es
2023-09-20 13:51:22 -04:00
```
{% include copy.html %}
2023-10-30 20:41:04 -04:00
If you're testing against Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, set `OSB_SERVICE` to `aoss` .

3. Customize and run the following `execute-test` command with the ` --client-options=amazon_aws_log_in:environment` flag. This flag tells OpenSearch Benchmark the location of your exported credentials.
```bash
opensearch-benchmark execute-test \
--target-hosts=< CLUSTER ENDPOINT > \
--pipeline=benchmark-only \
--workload=geonames \
--client-options=timeout:120,amazon_aws_log_in:environment \

```
