QRadar: AWS Protocol using IAM role does not honor the region for the STS connectivity

Troubleshooting


Problem

Setting the local region in the protocol parameters, and selecting the 'Assume IAM role' in log source configuration as the event collector is an EC2 instance, it's not honoring the regional VPC STS endpoint.

Symptom

The protocol is selecting the generic sts.amazonaws.com instead of the local regional STS. This default behavior is resolving a public IP address and cannot be set. There is no public interface to the generic sts.amazonaws.com endpoint in a private closed environment.
