2016/12/22 - AWS Identity and Access Management - 5 new api methods
Changes Adds service-specific credentials to IAM service to make it easier to onboard CodeCommit customers. These are username/password credentials that work with a single service.
Generates a set of credentials consisting of a user name and password that can be used to access the service specified in the request. These credentials are generated by IAM, and can be used only for the specified service.
You can have a maximum of two sets of service-specific credentials for each supported service per user.
The only supported service at this time is AWS CodeCommit.
You can reset the password to a new service-generated value by calling ResetServiceSpecificCredential .
For more information about service-specific credentials, see Using IAM with AWS CodeCommit: Git Credentials, SSH Keys, and AWS Access Keys in the IAM User Guide .

Request Syntax
client.create_service_specific_credential(
UserName='string',
ServiceName='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the IAM user that is to be associated with the credentials. The new service-specific credentials have the same permissions as the associated user except that they can be used only to access the specified service.
This parameter allows (per its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: =,.@-
string
[REQUIRED]

Response Structure
(dict) --
ServiceSpecificCredential (dict) --
A structure that contains information about the newly created service-specific credential.
Warning
This is the only time that the password for this credential set is available. It cannot be recovered later. Instead, you will have to reset the password with ResetServiceSpecificCredential .
CreateDate (datetime) --
The date and time, in ISO 8601 date-time format , when the service-specific credential were created.
ServiceName (string) --
The name of the service associated with the service-specific credential.
ServiceUserName (string) --
The generated user name for the service-specific credential. This value is generated by combining the IAM user's name combined with the ID number of the AWS account, as in jane-at-123456789012 , for example. This value cannot be configured by the user.
ServicePassword (string) --
The generated password for the service-specific credential.
ServiceSpecificCredentialId (string) --
The unique identifier for the service-specific credential.
UserName (string) --
The name of the IAM user associated with the service-specific credential.
Status (string) --
The status of the service-specific credential. Active means the key is valid for API calls, while Inactive means it is not.
Resets the password for a service-specific credential. The new password is AWS generated and cryptographically strong. It cannot be configured by the user. Resetting the password immediately invalidates the previous password associated with this user.
