+### Panic in AWS auth method during IAM-based login
+
+#### Affected versions
+
+- 1.15.0
+
+#### Issue
+
+A panic can occur in the AWS auth method during [IAM-based](/vault/docs/auth/aws#iam-auth-method)
+login when a [client config](/vault/api-docs/auth/aws#configure-client) does not exist.
+
+#### Workaround
+
+The panic can be avoided by writing an empty [client config](/vault/api-docs/auth/aws#configure-client):
+
+```shell-session
+vault write -f auth/aws/config/client
+```
