GetCredentialsForIdentityCommand response case problem

Describe the bug

When using GetCredentialsForIdentityCommand the response returns AccessKeyId, SecretKey and SessionToken. However, other AWS services to which these credentials need to be passed are expecting the format accessKeyId, secretAccessKey and sessionToken.

So the response from the Cognito call needs to have the case changed in order to be useful for calls to other AWS services.

Hi @gemmerton ,

If you didn't know, all of the AWS SDKs are code generated from the API models of the various AWS services. The types the SDK generates are matching whatever the AWS service specifies in their API model (PascalCase AccessKeyId). The service team cannot change the casing of the response they return since it would be considered a breaking change.

The solution here is to reconstruct the credential object yourself. something like this:

const credentials = {
        accessKeyId: cognitoResponse.Credentials.AccessKeyId,
        secretAccessKey: cognitoResponse.Credentials.SecretAccessKey,
        sessionToken: cognitoResponse.Credentials.SessionToken
 }

Thanks, Ran~
