Thank you for your response Reeza! Let me just add that I have used the SAS UE AMI from the AWS Marketplace to create the server instance.     I have also tried running the SAS UE server vApp image locally in a virtual environment (VMWare) and I am getting exactly the same error; however, if I run the proc s3 command in a Jupyter notebook, there is an extra line in the error message indicating that the problem may be related to the SSL/TLS handshake while the connection to the S3 bucket is being established:     11   ods listing close;ods html5 file=stdout options(bitmap_mode='inline') device=png; ods graphics on / outputfmt=png;
NOTE: Writing HTML5 Body file: STDOUT
12   
13   PROC S3 KEYID="<access key>" SECRET="<secret access key>" REGION=USWEST;
14   	LIST "/dataanalytics-sas/";
15   RUN;
ERROR: Could not list bucket contents.
ERROR: Could not load the specified encryption algorithm.
ERROR: Could not find extension: (tkersa2)
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE S3 used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds
      cpu time            0.00 seconds
      
16   ods html5 close;ods listing;
17  Adding NOSSL option, again, didn't help. Would you know if I can install the tkersa2 extension?
