I'm removing this partly incorrect statement in my original bug report:

euca2ools is based on the access key and secret key, while Amazon's EC2 API tools are based on the X.509 certificate and private key. This is a more fundamental incompatibility which I don't expect is going to be changed just to make things seem similar on the surface. If somebody else thinks it should be modified, then it should be a separate bug report.
