Example 1: Amazon Local credentials

This example shows you how to call POST Credentials/Create.

TIP Know your CA's requirements for credentials. Remember that you are adding credentials as is. Always validate the Credential object. The best way to check is to create a CA Template in the UI and apply your credential. If an error occurs, correct the credential, and retry.

The Values array needs these elements:

Name: Source, Type:string and Value: Local. List the Source of the credential first in the Values array. This clears other attributes to avoid non-applicable data from being retained.
Name: AccessKey, Type:string and Value that is the Amazon access string.
Name: SecretKey, Type:string and Value that is the Amazon secret key.
