Before making a request to Amazon Web Services using the AWS SDK for Java 2.x, the SDK cryptographically signs temporary credentials issued by AWS. To access temporary credentials, the SDK retrieves configuration values by checking several locations.

This topic discusses several ways that you enable the SDK to access temporary credentials.

Topics

• Configure access to temporary credentials
• Default credentials provider chain
• Use a specific credentials provider
• Use profiles
• Load temporary credentials from an external process
• Supply temporary credentials in code
• Read IAM role credentials on Amazon EC2
