Description

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that you provide to connect to the database using temporary security credentials. Temporary credentials consist of an access key, a secret key, and a session token, which are all valid for a limited amount of time. When you connect to the database using an ARN, an access key, and a secret key, the connector retrieves a set of temporary credentials and uses them to authenticate the connection.

For information about retrieving the credentials for a specific role, see ExternalID.

Note:

If you provide a session token and an ARN, the connector ignores the ARN and uses the session token to connect to DynamoDB.
