aws-profile-scripts

Installation

npm i --location=global @20i/aws-profile-scripts

Usage

Scenario 1: MFA device

# view usage entry
npx aws-mfa -h

This command helps you to authenticate with AWS using MFA and store the temporary credentials in your AWS profile.

1. Run npx aws-mfa -p myproject
2. Enter your six-digit code when asked for your authenticator token.

You may be asked to configure your myproject-mfa profile. It should be configured to use the access key and secret from your IAM user in AWS.

Scenario 2: SSO credentails

If you're logging in with SSO, rather than an access token, this script just adds a fast way to update your profile, but it still requires copying and pasting the SSO credential information.

# view usage entry
npx add-aws-profile --help

Instructions:

• Open your SSO link, such as: https://twentyideas.awsapps.com/start/
• Click on the project you want to authenticate with
• Select "Command line or programmatic access"
• Copy the text under "Option 2: Add a profile to your AWS credentials file"
• Run add-aws-profile <profileName> with <profileName> as the profile you want to add or replace
• Paste in the profile you copied

This will add the profile to your ~/.aws/credentials file, and create a backup of the file.
