Temporary Session Token for Generic S3 Connection

Customers who are using S3 Buckets behind their firewall and using their own storage still require similar Temporary Credentials as the Amazon S3 connector.  This would include the following Credential fields:

  • accessKeyId: "YOUR_TEMP_ACCESS_KEY",     
  • secretAccessKey: "YOUR_TEMP_SECRET_KEY",     
  • sessionToken: "YOUR_TEMP_SESSION_TOKEN"

    This is a must have as more and more customers re moving into connecting to data using on-prem s3 storage and thye specification they implement ask for session token apart from key and secret.
