Profile File Based Credential Providers

Profile file based providers combine two pieces:

  1. Parsing and resolution of the assume role chain
  2. A user-modifiable hashmap of provider name to provider.

Profile file based providers first determine the chain of providers that will be used to load credentials. After determining and validating this chain, a Vec of providers will be created.

Each subsequent provider will provide boostrap providers to the next provider in order to load the final credentials.

This module contains two sub modules:

  • repr which contains an abstract representation of a provider chain and the logic to build it from ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config.
  • exec which contains a chain representation of providers to implement passing bootstrapped credentials through a series of providers.
