Summary

Analyze keywords

Generates file with AWS STS Keys after logging in to AWS webconsole using SSO (SAML 2.0). It leverages 'assumeRoleWithSAML' API.

This is a browser extension that allows you to get your job done without any causing any trouble. The extension capture the SAMLResponse sent from the IdP to AWS and uses AWS assumeRoleWithSAML API to obtain the credentials that you can use from the AWS CLI.

The credentials file is automatically downloaded to your download folder as you do click on AWS SAML login. The name of the file is set to always be credentials.

Why this Chrome Extension?

This extension helps you to converts a SAML 2.0 assertion to AWS STS Keys (temporary credentials). Just log in to the AWS Web Management Console using your SAML IDP and the chrome extension will fetch the SAML Assertion from the HTTP request. The SAML Assertion is then used to call the assumeRoleWithSAML API to create the temporary credentials. (AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey and SessionToken).

User reviews

This totally works! Make sure you symlink your Downloads/credentials file to your .aws/ directory and it's like magic: `ln -s ~/Downloads/credentials ~/.aws/credentials` and you're done! The extension always downloads the file with the same filename, so refreshing credentials just means re-visiting your SAML Idp URL. So easy!
