IAM authentication is not applicable to a data loader task.

AssumeRole via EC2 role authentication

AssumeRole via EC2 role is not applicable to a data loader task.

AssumeRole via IAM user authentication

AssumeRole via IAM user authentication requires the access key and secret key values of the IAM user and the ARN of the IAM role.

The following table describes the connection properties for AssumeRole via IAM user authentication:

Property	Description
Access Key	Access key to access the Amazon S3 bucket.
Secret Key	Secret key to access the Amazon S3 bucket. The secret key is associated with the access key and uniquely identifies the account.
Folder Path	Amazon S3 bucket name or the folder path within the Amazon S3 bucket where the Amazon S3 objects are stored. For example, <bucket name>/<my folder name>
Region Name	The AWS region of the bucket that you want to access. Select one of the following regions: - Africa(Cape Town) - Asia Pacific(Mumbai) - Asis Pacific(Jakarta) - Asia Pacific (Osaka) - Asia Pacific(Seoul) - Asia Pacific(Singapore) - Asia Pacific(Sydney) - Asia Pacific(Tokyo) - Asia Pacific(Hong Kong) - AWS GovCloud(US) - AWS GovCloud(US-East) - Canada(Central) - China(Bejing) - China(Ningxia) - EU(Ireland) - EU(Frankfurt) - EU(London) - EU(Milan) - EU(Paris) - EU(Stockholm) - South America(Sao Paulo) - Middle East(Bahrain) - Middle East(UAE) - US East(N.

IAM Role ARN	The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role assumed by the user to use the dynamically generated temporary security credentials. Enter the value of this property if you want to use the temporary security credentials to access the AWS resources. Note: Even if you remove the IAM role that enables the agent to access the Amazon S3 bucket and create a connection, the test connection is successful. For more information about how to get the ARN of the IAM role, see the AWS documentation.
External ID	The external ID of your AWS account. External ID provides a more secure access to the Amazon S3 bucket when the Amazon S3 bucket is in a different AWS account.

Credential profile file authentication

Credential profile file authentication is not applicable to a data loader task.

Federated SSO authentication

Federated user single sign-on authentication requires the user name and password of the federated user, IdP SSO URL, ARN of the SAML identity provider, and ARN of the IAM role assumed by the federated user. You can only use ADFS 3.0 (IDP) for SSO.
