awsenv

This is a simple command line application that will parse AWS credentials from the clipboard and write them to a profile in ~/.aws/credentials.

This utility is meant to be used with AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On).

Usage

Navigate to your IAM Identity Center Login page (e.g., https://d-XXXXXXXXXXXX.awsapps.com/) and login. Identify the account and role you'd like to access and click 'Command line or programmatic access'. From the panel that appears, click on the quoted text in Option 1 or Option 2 to copy it to the clipboard.

Now run:

$ awsenv

This will import the clipboard data into the credentials file.

By default, data copied from Option 1 is stored in the [default] profile, while data from Option 2 is stored in the [AcctNum_RoleName] profile as provided in the credential data.

You can specify the target profile name as an extra command line parameter:

$ awsenv DevAccount

Building and Installing

Ensure that the golang compiler is installed on your machine:

$ go version

Clone the project locally, and change working directory to the project root. Then run:

$ make build

Copy the binary from ./bin/awsenv to the desired location in $PATH.
