Description

The name of the user profile used to authenticate into Redshift.

Note:

  • If the Use Instance Profile option (the InstanceProfile property) is enabled, that setting takes precedence and the connector uses the Amazon EC2 instance profile instead.

  • The default location for the credentials file that contains profiles is ~/.aws/Credentials. The AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE environment variable can be used to point to a different credentials file.
