Using a [temporary credential](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html) stored in the proper environment
variable is the preferred configuration method.

~> **Deprecated**: The `username` & `password` parameters are deprecated but supported for backward compatibility. They are replaced
by the equivalent `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` parameters respectively.
The Redis ElastiCache secrets engine must use AWS credentials that have sufficient permissions to manage ElastiCache users.
This IAM policy sample can be used as an example. Note that &lt;region&gt; and &lt;account-id&gt;
must correspond to your own environment.
