awslogin
Python script for CLI and SDK access to AWS via ADFS while requiring MFA access using https://duo.com/
History and Purpose
BYU used to use the great aws-adfs CLI tool to login to our AWS accounts. It worked great, especially the DUO 2FA support. Eventually, we decided to write our own similar tool but make it BYU-specific so that we could tailor it to our needs (which basically means hard-code certain BYU-specific things) and remove some of the required parameters. Since this tool will be used by BYU employees only we had that option. We then morphed it a little more for our use cases. This isn’t something that you could use outside of BYU, sorry.
Installation
Python 3.6 is recommended but it should work with Python 2.7. See the installation options page for step by step instructions for installing in various environments.
See https://www.python.org/downloads/ for a windows installation method.
In linux you may be able to use apt, rpm or https://www.python.org/downloads/.
In Mac you can use homebrew, macports or https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Run pip3 install byu_awslogin or pip install byu_awslogin as appropriate for your python installation
Upgrading
If you already have byu_awslogin install and are looking to upgrade simply run
pip3 install --upgrade byu_awslogin or pip install --upgrade byu_awslogin as appropriate for your python installation
Usage
awslogin defaults to the default profile in your ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials files. *If you already have a default profile you want to save in your ~/.aws files make sure to do that before running awslogin.*
Once you’re logged in, you can execute commands using the AWS CLI or AWS SDK. Try running aws s3 ls.
Currently, AWS temporary credentials are only valid for 1 hour. We cache your ADFS session, however, so you can just re-run awslogin again to get a new set of AWS credentials without logging in again to ADFS. Your ADFS login session is valid for 8 hours, after which time you’ll be required to login to ADFS again to obtain a new session.
To switch accounts after you’ve already authenticated to an account, just run awslogin again and select a new account/role combination.
To use it:
Run awslogin and it will prompt you for the AWS account and role to use.
Run awslogin --account <account name> --role <role name> to skip the prompting for account and name. You could specify just one of the arguments as well.
Run awslogin --profile <profile name> to specifiy an alternative profile
Run awslogin --region <region name> to specify a different region. The default region is us-west-2.
Run awslogin --status for the current status of the default profile
Run awslogin --status --profile dev for the current status of the dev profile
Run awslogin --status --profile all for the current status of the all profiles
Run awslogin --logout to logout of a cached ADFS session
Run awslogin --version to display the running version of awslogin
Run awslogin --help for full help message
