// AccountWrapper encapsulates AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) account actions // used in the examples. // It contains an IAM service client that is used to perform account actions. type AccountWrapper struct { IamClient *iam.Client } // GetAccountPasswordPolicy gets the account password policy for the current account. // If no policy has been set, a NoSuchEntityException is error is returned. func (wrapper AccountWrapper) GetAccountPasswordPolicy() (*types.PasswordPolicy, error) { var pwPolicy *types.PasswordPolicy result, err := wrapper.IamClient.GetAccountPasswordPolicy(context.TODO(), &iam.GetAccountPasswordPolicyInput{}) if err != nil { log.Printf("Couldn't get account password policy.

Create the client.

import { IAMClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam"; // Set the AWS Region. const REGION = "REGION"; // For example, "us-east-1". // Create an IAM service client object. const iamClient = new IAMClient({ region: REGION }); export { iamClient };

Get the account password policy.

// Import required AWS SDK clients and commands for Node.js. import { iamClient } from "./libs/iamClient.js"; import { GetAccountPasswordPolicyCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam"; const run = async () => { try { const data = await iamClient.send(new GetAccountPasswordPolicyCommand({})); console.log("Success", data.PasswordPolicy); } catch (err) { console.log("Error", err); } }; run();
