li-aws-helper

li-aws-helper is a Python library designed to facilitate the management of AWS credentials and the refreshing of session tokens using MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). This library provides a command-line interface (CLI) to configure AWS credentials and refresh session tokens easily.

Installation

To install the li-aws-helper package, use the following command:

pip3 install li-aws-helper

Configuration

Before using the library, you need to configure your AWS credentials. Run the following command to start the configuration process:

li config

he service will prompt you to provide the following information:

• Region: The AWS region (default is us-east-1).
• Access Key: Your AWS access key.
• Secret Key: Your AWS secret key.
• MFA Identifier: The ARN of your MFA device.

All those answers you can find at AWS Console/ Security credentials.

Note: The provided credentials will be stored locally in a file named credentials.json.

The library works, modifying your .aws/credentials for the mfa credentials, keeping your original credentials safe. For rollback your original credentials, you can run the command:

li rollback

You shouldn't have to do this, but if you want to rollback the credentials, you can run the command above.

Usage

Refreshing Session Tokens

To refresh your AWS session tokens using MFA, use the following command:

li refresh --token <MFA_TOKEN_CODE>

Replace <MFA_TOKEN_CODE> with the actual MFA token code generated by your MFA device.

You also can add a function to your .bashrc or .bash_profile to make the command shorter:

litoken(){
 li refresh --token $1
}

Then, you can refresh your session tokens by running:

litoken <MFA_TOKEN_CODE>

Local Development
