  4. Optionally, in the STS Endpoint URL field, type the endpoint used to communicate with the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS).
  5. Optionally, in the AuthProfile field, type the authentication profile you want to use to manage the connection settings, then do the following:
    1. In the AccessKeyID field, type your Redshift access key ID.
    2. In the SecretAccessKey field, type your Redshift secret key.
  6. In the Web Identity Token field, type the token that is provided by the identity provider.
