Generates AWS credentials for roles using STS
Project description
Generates AWS credentials for roles using STS and writes them to `~/.aws/credentials`
Usage
Simply pipe a SAML assertion into awssaml
# create credentials from saml assertion
$ oktaauth -u jobloggs | aws_role_credentials saml --profile dev
Or for assuming a role using an IAM user:
# create credentials from an iam user
$ aws_role_credentials user \
arn:aws:iam::111111:role/dev jobloggs-session \
--profile dev
For roles that require MFA:
# create credentials from an iam user with mfa
$ aws_role_credentials user \
arn:aws:iam::111111:role/dev jobloggs-session \
--profile dev \
--mfa-serial-number arn:aws:iam::111111:mfa/Jo \
--mfa-token 102345
Transient mode
`aws_role_credentials` also supports ‘transient’ mode where the credentials are passed to a command as environment variables within the process. This adds an extra layer of safety and convinience.
To use transient mode simply pass a command to the `--exec` option like so:
# run 'aws s3 ls' with the generated role credentials from an iam user
$ aws_role_credentials user \
arn:aws:iam::111111:role/dev jobloggs-session \
--exec 'aws s3 ls'
Options
- --profile
Use a specific profile in your credential file (e.g. Development). Defaults to sts.
- --region
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings. Defaults to us-east-1.
- --exec
The command to execute with the AWS credentials
