/**
* 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 Temporary Security Credentials.
*
*
*
* 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 AWS Services That Work with IAM in the IAM User Guide.
*
*
* 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
*
*
* The AWS Security Token Service (STS) has a default endpoint of
* https://sts.amazonaws.com that maps to the US East (N. Virginia) region.
* Additional regions are available and are activated by default. For more
* information, see Activating and Deactivating AWS STS in an AWS Region in the IAM User
* Guide.
*
*
* 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.
