CLI tool for fetching AWS tokens.

Project description

stsauth

Creates a temporary AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY that can be used with cli tools such as awscli, ansible, terraform and more.

This method of authentication is preferred because it eliminates the need for long-lived access keys and forces every user to use their own credentials when connecting to AWS Services.

Prerequisites

  1. python and pip must be installed.
  2. Ensure pip is configured to work behind your organization's proxy server if necessary. See PIP Configuration for details on configuration.
  3. Must already have access to an AWS account console.

    domain = MYADDOMAIN
    okta_org = my-organization
    okta_shared_secret = 16CHARLONGSTRING
    aws_access_key_id = awsaccesskeyidstringexample

Warning

It is strongly recommended to use Okta Push Notifications for MFA if at all possible. Storing your Shared Secret or passing it in through the command line comes with the risk of exposing the Shared Secret to unintended persons. If compromised, the security of MFA is lost. Please proceed with caution and an understanding of the risks associated. If you believe your Shared Secret has been compromised, please revoke it immediately.

Troubleshooting

An error occurs when authenticating

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the AssumeRoleWithSAML operation: Access denied

You likely have lost permission. Please try to sign in via AWS Console.
