Java SDK is not able to use credentials created with CLI `aws login`

[massimeddu-sj]

Describe the feature

Currently the Java SDK is not able to use the credentials created with AWS CLI aws login command.

We would like to remove the legacy static AWS credentials with the new short-live aws login credentials in our dev local machine, but apparently the Java SDK is not able to use them.

Use Case

In dev local machine we would like to remove the usage of long-live static AWS credentials and instead use the aws login command to generate short-live credentials that can be used to develop the applications in a local environment.

Hi @massimeddu-sj

The Java SDK 2.x does support aws login credentials - this feature was added in version 2.39.1.

To use it, you need to add the signin module to your project dependencies. The default credentials provider chain should then automatically detect the login_session setting in your profile and use the cached credentials from ~/.aws/login/cache.

• Login credentials provider
• Using console login credentials with SDK for Java

Could you please share more details about what you're experiencing that indicates the SDK isn't able to use these credentials? For example:

• Error message or stack trace
• Code snippet showing how you're configuring the credentials provider
• ~/.aws/config profile (redacted)

Chaitanya

Hi @bhoradc , actually adding the software.amazon.awssdk.signin module fixed the issue.

Thank you!
