aws-adfs

Command line tool to easier aws cli authentication against ADFS (multi factor authentication with active directory).

Thanks to Brandond contribution - "Remove storage of credentials, in favor of storing ADFS session cookies" aws-adfs:

allows you to re-login to STS without entering credentials for an extended period of time, without having to store the user's actual credentials. It also lets an organization control the period in which a user can re-login to STS without entering credentials, by altering the ADFS session lifetime.

Thanks to Brandond contribution - "Add support for legacy aws_security_token key in credentials file" aws-adfs supports ansible by providing two keys with security token:

• AWS_SESSION_TOKEN and
• AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN

Installation

• user local installation

  pip install aws-adfs
  

  Please note, that you need to add $HOME/.local/bin to your PATH

• system wide installation

  sudo pip install aws-adfs
  

• virtualenvs

  virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 aws-adfs
  source aws-adfs/bin/activate
  pip install aws-adfs
  ...
  ...
  deactivate
  

Examples of usage

• login to your adfs host with disabled ssl verification on aws cli profile: adfs

  aws-adfs login --adfs-host=your-adfs-hostname --no-ssl-verification
  

  and verification

  aws --profile=adfs s3 ls
  

• login to your adfs host with disabled ssl verification on specified aws cli profile: specified-profile

  aws-adfs login --profile=specified-profile --adfs-host=your-adfs-hostname --no-ssl-verification
  

  and verification

  aws --profile=specified-profile s3 ls
