createServiceSpecificCredential

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.

You can reset the password to a new service-generated value by calling ResetServiceSpecificCredential.

• For service-specific credentials with Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), refer to Use IAM with Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) in the IAM User Guide.

• For services that support long-term API keys, refer to API keys for Amazon Web Services services in the IAM User Guide.
