Class ProfilesConfigFile

java.lang.Object

com.amazonaws.auth.profile.ProfilesConfigFile

public class ProfilesConfigFile
extends Object

Loads the local AWS credential profiles from the standard location (~/.aws/credentials), which can be easily overridden through the AWS_CREDENTIAL_PROFILES_FILE environment variable or by specifying an alternate credentials file location through this class' constructor.

The AWS credentials file format allows you to specify multiple profiles, each with their own set of AWS security credentials:

 [default]
 aws_access_key_id=testAccessKey
 aws_secret_access_key=testSecretKey
 aws_session_token=testSessionToken

 [test-user]
 aws_access_key_id=testAccessKey
 aws_secret_access_key=testSecretKey
 aws_session_token=testSessionToken
 

These credential profiles allow you to share multiple sets of AWS security credentails between different tools such as the AWS SDK for Java and the AWS CLI.

For more information on setting up AWS credential profiles, see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html
