AWS SSO Credentials Tool

(couldn't find a better name)

This AWS SSO Credentials Tool is a script in nodejs to (almost)automatically update your local credentials file of aws.

I say almost because at some point you'll need to click a button (or two in the worst scenario).

Disclaimer: this is NOT intended to use as a dependency, it is just a script. The only reason it's published is for it to be more easy to find.

Motivation

The SSO credentials expires every day, so I did not want to update this file manually.

Requirements

• Node.js - Install Node.js, including the npm package management tool.

How to use

Update .env file with the correct params

It is required to set the sso url like this:

SSO_URL="https://<your-project>.awsapps.com/start#/"

The credentials will be stored as account-name_AWSRoleName. If you want to store it as 123456789098_AWSRoleName add this:

USE_ACCOUNT_ID=true

if you want a different profile name pattern update the code...

It uses us-east-1 as default aws region and searches for the credentials file in the default path. If you want to change it, add this:

REGION=us-east-1
AWS_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/Users/you/.aws/credentials

First time use

1. Run npm install in this folder
2. Update the .env with the correct values
3. Run node app.js
4. At some point the aws webpage will popup
   1. Log in to aws if you are not already
   2. The code for device authentication will be auto filled
   3. Click on Sign In

5. When the success alert shows then come back to the terminal and press a key

7. Done!

For consecuents runs just start from step 3.
