Description
For use cases where temporary credentials are used when authentication with key spaces, this plugin will fail to work since there is not refresh mechanism.
One method to make this work is to use ChainedTemporaryCredentials which has the ability to refresh expired tokens.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the plugin's authentication handling and how it obtains temporary credentials. Reproduce the failure with expiring credentials, then verify that authentication continues after the credentials refresh.
