Security Credentials

Here, you have two options:

1. Declare as a server on your $HOME/.m2/settings.xml:

   <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                         http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
     <servers>
       <server>
       <id>aws.amazon.com</id>
         <username>[your aws access key]</username>
         <password>[your aws secret key, possibly encrypted]</password>
       </server>
     </servers>
   </settings>

   You can declare domains other than aws.amazon.com - All you need to do is to set beanstalk.serverId as well. For more information, check the Maven docs on Password Encryption

   It **DOES** support password encryption. In fact, it throws up an alert whenever it finds an unencrypted password.

2. Declaring as Environment Variables:

   $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your aws access key>"
   $ export AWS_SECRET_KEY="<your aws secret key>"
   $ mvn beanstalk:upload-source-bundle
