Auto Reconnect to AWS on expiration

[amoussa1229]

I'm using Mountain Duck on Windows Server 2022 with an AWS S3 Endpoint. I connected via an IAM account with access key ID and secret access key. The IAM account is set at max login time of 12 hours.

This machine is going to be running 24/7 for surveillance archiving. Is there any way that once this login expires, every 12 hours, Mountain duck is able to automatically reconnect to continue to allow uploading?

Not sure what exactly you are referring to

• Temporary security credentials in IAM. Then you could setup authentication using OpenID Connect (OIDC) as documented ¹
• If you populate AWS credentials AWS CLI in the user environment you might want to look at the S3 (Credentials from AWS Command Line Interface) profile.
• Otherwise a session duration might only apply to login in the AWS Console from a web browser

1. Custom connection profile using OpenID Connect provider and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity STS API ↩
