Can you please provide a sample for connection using AWS access key and secret key and without certificate?

I want to use it for automation purpose and simulate connect, publish, disconnect message.

The AWS IoT sdk's are slightly different from the other sdk's because you have to most commonly use certificates to connect to AWS IoT Core. It is possible to use just in time provisioning to automate the registration of client devices. Also you can set up one certificate and then use it multiple times for testing purposes.

Edit: Please see comment from TwistedTwigleg below to see how to connect with websockets

@jmklix : got it. but is it possible to add that support as earlier version was supporting it? Should I create a feature request for the same?

If you are connecting via websockets you do not need a certificate and key file, it will use the AWS secret key and AWS access key stored in your system's environment variables. I just checked and tested the WebsocketConnect sample, and only passing an endpoint and signing region works:

mvn compile exec:java -pl samples/WebsocketConnect -Dexec.mainClass=websocketconnect.WebsocketConnect -Dexec.args="--endpoint <endpoint> --signing_region <signing region>"

However, when I created the sample I incorrectly showed in the ReadMe that it requires passing a certificate and key as arguments even though they are ignored. I will make a PR to update this.
