Adding credentials file reader support for session token. #45

It's already supported in awscredentials.py but it just wasn't being parsed from the credentialsreader.

Will the token expire?

rendicott commented 6 years ago

Tokens will always expire. This is to support the use case where you have another process generating the credentials file entry and want the plugin to consume those credentials. This was required for us because we were using an instance profile that was doing a cross account assume role.
