I am creating an application which needs to access AWS resources by all of my team members. I have used ProfileCredentialsProvider for authentication to AWS. It picks the 'default' profile by default. But some of my team members have a different/custom profile names. Is it possible to configure ProfileCredentialsProvider to pick any available profile name in the .aws/credentials file without restrictions?

ProfileCredentialsProvider, when using the builder, allows you to pass a profile name. It's not clear what issue you're having. – stdunbar Commented Mar 18 at 17:42
- My requirement is to not pass a profile name, but take whatever profile is available in the credentials file. Is it possible? – Vel Ganesh Commented Mar 19 at 19:09
- What good does it do to pick a random profile? Are your process so bad that all profiles have the same permissions? If so, then create a "default" even if it has the same credentials as another profile. Or have your users set the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. – stdunbar Commented Mar 21 at 1:35
- AWS_PROFILE seems to be the best option here. Can you please respond the same in the answers section, so that I can mark it as accepted? – Vel Ganesh Commented Mar 21 at 5:34
