/**
* Synchronous and asynchronous client classes for accessing AWSSecurityTokenService.
*
* AWS Security Token Service
* The AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) is a web service that
* enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for
* AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) users or for users that
* you authenticate (federated users). This guide provides descriptions
* of the AWS 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 AWS 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 AWS STS endpoints, see
* Regions and Endpoints
* in the AWS General Reference .
*
*
* Recording API requests
*
*
* AWS 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 AWS 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
* .
