Common Command Options
This section describes options common to all IAM commands.
Options
All of the commands in the CLI accept the optional parameters described in the following table.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Path to the file containing your AWS credentials. This value can be stored in the AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE environment variable. Example: |
|
|
Path to the file containing your proxy server settings. If you are behind a proxy server and you cannot make calls to IAM directly, you can use this option to specify a configuration file that contains your proxy server settings. This value can be stored in the CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. Example: |
|
|
Enables debug logging. |
|
|
Prints help information for the command. |
|
|
Override the URL for the service call with the value supplied. This value is set using the AWS_IAM_URL environment variable. |
Note
When you use the --aws-credential-file or --client-config-file option on the command line, you override the
option value stored as an environment variable.
Note
The command line interface contains template files you can use to
specify settings for --aws-credential-file and --client-config-file. The templates are available at
$AWS_IAM_HOME/aws-credential.template and $AWS_IAM_HOME/client-config.template, respectively.
