Refreshing credentials for RDP alerts API using AWS SQS java sdk

erisk

Hi,
I am using the AWS SQS java sdk to connect and retrieve data from the alerts API in RDP. Every hour I need to refresh the cloud credentials as per the user guide, so I end up creating a new SQS client object because I am using StaticCredentialsProvider to pass in the cloud credentials. I can't seem to find how to use a dynamic credentials provider instead of rebuilding the client every time. I was wondering if anyone else has come across this?

StaticCredentialsProvider staticCredentialsProvider = StaticCredentialsProvider.create

    (new AwsSessionCredentials.Builder()

        .accessKeyId(credentials.getAccessKeyId())

        .secretAccessKey(credentials.getSecretKey()) 

        .sessionToken(credentials.getSessionToken())

        .build());


SqsClient sqsClient = SqsClient.builder()

    .httpClient(sqsRestClient)

    .region(region) 

    .credentialsProvider(staticCredentialsProvider)

    .build();

Thanks.

Hello @erisk,

I have only seen samples where a new SQS client is created upon expiry of the old one.

This post on the stack-overflow seems to suggest that if the credentials provider is passed in the constructor, the new AWS toolkit should automatically refresh the token. I have not tried this approach myself.
