/**
* Synchronous and asynchronous client classes for accessing AWSSecurityTokenService.
*
* AWS Security Token Service
* The AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a web service that enables you
* to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity
* and Access Management (IAM) users or for users that you authenticate
* (federated users). This guide provides descriptions of the STS API.
* For more detailed information about using this service, go to
* Using Temporary Security Credentials
* .
*
*
* NOTE: As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of
* the AWS SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various
* programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android,
* etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access
* to STS. For example, the SDKs take care of cryptographically signing
* requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For
* information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install
* them, see the Tools for Amazon Web Services page.
*
*
* For information about setting up signatures and authorization through
* the API, go to
* Signing AWS API Requests in the AWS General Reference . For general information about the Query API, go to Making Query Requests in Using IAM . For information about using security tokens with other AWS products, go to Using Temporary Security Credentials to Access AWS
* in Using Temporary Security Credentials .
*
*
* If you're new to AWS and need additional technical information about a
* specific AWS product, you can find the product's technical
* documentation at
* http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/
* .
*
*
* Endpoints
*
*
* For information about STS endpoints, see
* Regions and Endpoints
* in the AWS General Reference .
*
*
* Recording API requests
*
*
* STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a service that records AWS calls
* for your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By
* using information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what
* requests were successfully made to STS, who made the request, when it
* was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to
* turn it on and find your log files, see the
* AWS CloudTrail User Guide
* .
