aws2-wrap 1.0.3

A wrapper for executing a command with AWS CLI v2 and SSO

[](https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=linaro-its_aws2-wrap)

# aws2-wrap This is a simple script to make it easier to use AWS Single Sign On credentials with tools that don’t understand the sso entries in an AWS profile.

The script provides the following capabilities:

• Running a specified command with the retrieved AWS SSO credentials.

• Exporting the AWS SSO credentials.

• Supporting credential_process within an aWS profile

Please note that the script is called aws2-wrap to show that it works with AWS CLI v2, even though the CLI tool is no longer called aws2.

## Install using pip

https://pypi.org/project/aws2-wrap

pip install aws2-wrap==1.0.3

## Run a command using AWS SSO credentials

aws2-wrap [–profile <awsprofilename>] [–exec] <command>

Note that if you are using –exec and <command> contains spaces, it must be surrouned with double-quotation marks.

You can also specify the profile to be used via AWS_PROFILE which then allows the same profile to be used by subsequent tools and commands.

Examples:

aws2-wrap –profile MySSOProfile terraform plan

aws2-wrap –profile MySSOProfile –exec “terraform plan”

AWS_PROFILE=MySSOProfile aws2-wrap terraform plan

## Export the credentials

There may be circumstances when it is easier/better to set the appropriate environment variables so that they can be re-used by any aws command.

Since the script cannot directly set the environment variables in the calling shell process, it is necessary to use the following syntax:

eval “$(aws2-wrap [–profile <awsprofilename>] –export)”

For example:

eval “$(aws2-wrap –profile MySSOProfile –export)”

## Use the credentials via .aws/config

If you are using a tool that works with normal AWS credentials but doesn’t understand the new AWS SSO credentials, another option is to add a profile to .aws/config that calls the aws2-wrap script.

For example, add the following block to .aws/config:

` [profile Wrapped] credential_process = aws2-wrap --process --profile <awsprofilename> `

then, after authentication:

aws sso login –profile <awsprofilename>

you can run any command that uses AWS credentials by specifying the “Wrapped” profile:

` export AWS_PROFILE=Wrapped terraform plan `
