# AwsCredentialsProviderArguments

<a id="awscredentialsproviderarguments" />

<Note>
  **Note:** As an alternative, you can configure this property using the alias `aws_credentials_provider_arguments`. If you specify both the property name and the alias for the same connection, the setting associated with the property name (`AwsCredentialsProviderArguments`) takes precedence.
</Note>

A comma-separated list of String arguments for the constructor of the AwsCredentialsProviderClass.

Be aware of the following restrictions:

* The connector only supports String arguments for the constructor parameters.
* Multiple arguments must be separated by a comma (`,`).
* Surrounding spaces are not included in the parsed arguments.
* To escape a single character, use a backslash (`\`) before that character. To indicate a backslash in an argument, use two backslashes (`\\`).
* To escape all commas in an argument, enclose the argument in quotation marks (`"`). To indicate a quotation mark in a quoted argument, use a backslash (`\`) before that quotation mark.
