How do you provide AWS keys to Amazon SES Service when sending Emails?

Question

As per the documentation it says, you need a shared credentials file in the home directory but it's not working for production. So How can I specify the AWS key while sending an email?

Answer 1

If you are working with EC2 or AWS Lambda or maybe any AWS IAM supported service, the secure way is to go with creating a role that has access to SES and attach it to the resource. You can give it within your program:

AWSCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new AWSCredentialsProvider() {

    @Override

    public void refresh() {}

        @Override

        public AWSCredentials getCredentials() {

        return new AWSCredentials() {

            @Override

            public String getAWSSecretKey() {

                return "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";

            }

            @Override

            public String getAWSAccessKeyId() {

                return "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY";

            }

        };

    }

};

AmazonSimpleEmailService client = AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.standard()

            .withCredentials(credentialsProvider).build();
