Amazon AWS Client
The sgcOpenAPI Amazon AWS Client (TsgcOpenAPI_Amazon_Client) has it's own OpenAPI Client which inherits from TsgcOpenAPI_Client.
This component has a property called AmazonOptions that includes all required configurations to connect to Amazon AWS Servers.
AmazonOptions
In AmazonOptions you can define the required AccessKey and SecretKey (which must be generated previously from your Amazon Account), to authenticate against the Amazon AWS Servers.
An access key grants programmatic access to your resources. This means that you must guard the access key as carefully as the AWS account root user sign-in credentials.
It's a best practice to do the following:
- Create an IAM user, and then define that user's permissions as narrowly as possible.
- Create the access key under that IAM user.
Once you've the credentials, set in the following properties:
- AmazonOptions.AccessKey
- AmazonOptions.SecretKey
The AmazonOptions.JSON property allows to define if the responses are in JSON or XML.
Credentials
AWS requires different types of security credentials depending on how you access AWS. For example, you need a user name and password to sign in to the AWS Management Console and you need access keys to make programmatic calls to AWS.
Once you have your own AWS Access Keys, you must configure in the OpenAPI Amazon Client before you do any Request to the Amazon AWS Servers.
