Constructor and Description
STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentials longLivedCredentials) Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified long lived AWS credentials to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentialsProvider longLivedCredentialsProvider) Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified credentials provider (which vends long lived AWS credentials) to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider

public STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentials longLivedCredentials)

Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified long lived AWS credentials to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

Parameters:

longLivedCredentials - The main AWS credentials for a user's account.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider

public STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentials longLivedCredentials,
                             ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration)

Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified long lived AWS credentials to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

Parameters:

longLivedCredentials - The main AWS credentials for a user's account.

clientConfiguration - Client configuration connection parameters.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider

public STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentialsProvider longLivedCredentialsProvider)

Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified credentials provider (which vends long lived AWS credentials) to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

Parameters:

longLivedCredentialsProvider - Credentials provider for the main AWS credentials for a user's account.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider

public STSSessionCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentialsProvider longLivedCredentialsProvider,
                             ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration)

Constructs a new STSSessionCredentialsProvider, which will use the specified credentials provider (which vends long lived AWS credentials) to make a request to the AWS Security Token Service (STS) to request short lived session credentials, which will then be returned by this class's getCredentials() method.

Parameters:

longLivedCredentialsProvider - Credentials provider for the main AWS credentials for a user's account.

clientConfiguration - Client configuration connection parameters.

Method Detail

setSTSClientEndpoint

public void setSTSClientEndpoint(String endpoint)

Sets the AWS Security Token Service (STS) endpoint where session credentials are retrieved from.

The default AWS Security Token Service (STS) endpoint ("sts.amazonaws.com") works for all accounts that are not for China(Beijing) region. You only need to change the endpoint to "sts.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn" when you are requesting session credentials for services in China(Beijing) region.

getCredentials

public AWSCredentials getCredentials()

Description copied from interface: AWSCredentialsProvider

Returns AWSCredentials which the caller can use to authorize an AWS request. Each implementation of AWSCredentialsProvider can chose its own strategy for loading credentials. For example, an implementation might load credentials from an existing key management system, or load new credentials when credentials are rotated.

Specified by:

getCredentials in interface AWSCredentialsProvider

Returns:

AWSCredentials which the caller can use to authorize an AWS request.

refresh

public void refresh()

Description copied from interface: AWSCredentialsProvider

Forces this credentials provider to refresh its credentials. For many implementations of credentials provider, this method may simply be a no-op, such as any credentials provider implementation that vends static/non-changing credentials. For other implementations that vend different credentials through out their lifetime, this method should force the credentials provider to refresh its credentials.

Specified by:

refresh in interface AWSCredentialsProvider
