Reproduction steps

When I place access key and secret access key into add credentials > Kind AWS Credentials I get Auth Failure. This happens regardless of the keys and I've validated the keys are correct.

Issue looks to be in https://github.com/jenkinsci/aws-credentials-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/plugins/awscredentials/AWSCredentialsImpl.java

AmazonEC2 ec2 = new AmazonEC2Client(awsCredentials, getClientConfiguration());

        // TODO better/smarter validation of the credentials instead of verifying the permission on EC2.READ in us-east-1            String region = "us-east-1";<!--EndFragment-->

Region is hard coded to us-east-1 for validation.

Results

Expected result:

Authentication successful

Actual result:

These credentials are NOT valid: "AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials (Service: AmazonEC2; Status Code: 401; Error Code: AuthFailure; Request ID: 54876057-08bf-4ef7-85b1-7b8fb516f5bd; Proxy: null)"
