Credential profile file authentication

Credential profile file authentication

You can provide the credentials required to establish the connection with Amazon S3 through the credential profile file.
If you do not specify the credential profile file path, the default credential file path is used. If you do not specify the profile name, the credentials are used from the default profile in the credential file.
Consider the following rules for a credential profile file:
  • The credential file must be on the same machine where you installed the Secure Agent.
  • The credential profile file name must end with
    .credentials
    .
  • If you do not specify the credential profile path, the Secure Agent uses the credential profile file present in the following default location in your home directory:
    ~/.aws/credentials
    On Windows, you can refer to your home directory by using the environment variable
    %UserProfile%
    . On Unix-like systems, you can use the environment variable
    $HOME
    .
The following sample shows a credential profile file:
[default] aws_access_key_id = 1233333 aws_secret_access_key = abcabcabc [test-profile] aws_access_key_id = 1233333 aws_secret_access_key = abcabcabc aws_session_token = jahaheieomdrtflmlioerp
The
aws_access_key_id
and
aws_secret_access_key
are the AWS access key and secret key used as part of credentials to authenticate the user.
The
aws_session_token
is the AWS session token used as part of the credentials to authenticate the user. A session token is required only if you specify temporary security credentials.
