Namespace: Amazon.Util
Assembly: AWSSDK.Core.dll
Version: 3.x.y.z

Syntax

C# 
public SAMLImmutableCredentials GetCurrentSession()

Return Value


Type: SAMLImmutableCredentials
The current credentials valid for the role specified in the profile. Returns null if no active session is available, or the active session has expired.

Remarks

When a user successfully authenticates and receives temporary AWS credentials for a role, the profile is updated with details of the session. When the profile is loaded by other processes or tools, if session data is present and still valid it can be retrieved using this method avoiding the need to re-authenticate and get additional temporary credentials.
