Problem Statement
Attempting to use withokta with a named profile and PowerShell downstream leads to an error like this:
Credential profile [Corp] is not valid. Please ensure the profile contains a valid combination of properties.
Solution
Use a distinct name for the source_profile saved to ~/.aws/credentials. This works for PowerShell, AWS CLI, Python programs using boto3, and AWS SDK for Java. It likely works for other AWS SDKs as well.
