AWS credentials authentication

To configure the driver to use AWS credentials authentication:

• Configure the minimum options required for a connection:
  • If you are using a Model file, set the REST Config File (RestConfigFile) option to provide the name and location of the Model file. For example, C:/path/to/myrest.rest.
  • If you are using the REST Sample Path option, set the REST Sample Path (RestSamplePath) option to specify the endpoint that the want to connect to and sample. For example, https://example.com/countries/.
• Set the Authentication Method (AuthenticationMethod) option to 43 (AWS).
• Set the Access Key (AccessKey) option to specify your access key ID for your IAM user or AWS account root user.
• Set the Region (Region) option to specify name of the region that hosts your AWS server. For example, us-east-1 or us-east-2. If no value is specified, the driver will use us-east-1.

  For a list of regions, refer to the AWS documentation.

• Set the Secret Key (SecretKey) option to specify your secret access key for an IAM user or AWS account root user.
• Optionally, specify values for any additional options you want to configure. See "Connection option descriptions" for a complete list of options.
