Access Pattern Plan

Deploy Terraform

Run the following commands to deploy the terraform stack

terraform init
terraform apply

Request Access Credentials

Deploy Terraform (SSO)

Note: To perform these steps, there must be an existing AWS IAM Identity Center (IIC) instance and a user (or group) in the directory. I won't be covering how to setup AWS IAM Identity Center (IIC) in this guide.

Create a new file terraform.tfvars with the following content

sso_instance_id  = "ssoins-XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
sso_grantee = {
  "type": "DIRECTORY_USER",
  "id": "97670ae0f2-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX"
}

Deploying these changes will link AWS S3 Access Grants to IAM Identity Center (IIC)

# Set AWS credentials for the S3 Access Grant account (111111111111 in the example)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

terraform init
terraform apply

Export some variables while you are still authenticated with the S3 Access grant account (used for terraform deploy)

echo "export SHOPFAST_DATA_BUCKET=$(terraform output -raw shopfast_data_bucket)" >> federation/.env
echo "export AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)" >> federation/.env
echo "export AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ROLE_ARN=$(terraform output -raw identity_bearer_iam_role_arn)" >> federation/.env
echo "export AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_CLIENT_APP_ROLE_ARN=$(terraform output -raw client_application_iam_role_arn)" >> federation/.env

!!! The following steps must be done while authenticated with the AWS IAM Identity Center (IIC) account. !!!

# Set AWS credentials for the AWS IAM Identity Center (IIC) account (222222222222 in the example)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

cd federation
terraform init
terraform apply

There are a few steps that do not have terraform resources, so they must be done manually - Start by exporting some variables

echo "export AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN=$(terraform output -raw s3_access_grants_application_arn)" >> .env
echo "export AWS_IIC_TRUSTED_ISSUER_ARN=$(terraform output -raw s3_access_grants_trusted_token_issuer_arn)" >> .env

Then source all the variables into your shell environment.

source .env

Create an application grant for the application

export AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED_AUDIENCE="8943e428-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

GRANT_JSON=$(jq --arg issuer_arn "$AWS_IIC_TRUSTED_ISSUER_ARN" \
    --arg audience "$AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED_AUDIENCE" \
        '.JwtBearer.AuthorizedTokenIssuers[0].TrustedTokenIssuerArn = $issuer_arn |
        .JwtBearer.AuthorizedTokenIssuers[0].AuthorizedAudiences[0] = $audience' \
        templates/grant.json)

aws sso-admin put-application-grant \
    --application-arn $AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN \
    --grant-type "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer" \
    --grant "$GRANT_JSON"

Create an application authentication method for the application

AUTHENTICATION_METHOD_JSON=$(jq \
    --arg app_arn "$AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN" \
    --arg role_arn "$AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_CLIENT_APP_ROLE_ARN" \
    --arg aws_id "$AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ACCOUNT_ID" \
        '.Iam.ActorPolicy.Statement[0].Principal.AWS = $aws_id |
        .Iam.ActorPolicy.Statement[0].Resource = $app_arn |
        .Iam.ActorPolicy.Statement[0].Condition.ArnEquals["aws:PrincipalArn"] = $role_arn' \
        templates/authentication-method.json)

aws sso-admin put-application-authentication-method \
   --application-arn $AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN \
   --authentication-method-type IAM \
   --authentication-method "$AUTHENTICATION_METHOD_JSON"

Generate the .env file in the federation/web folder that will be used by the client application

cat <<EOF > web/.env
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=Your_Secret_Key
AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN=${AWS_IIC_APPLICATION_ARN}
AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ROLE_ARN=${AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ROLE_ARN}
AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ACCOUNT_ID=${AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_ACCOUNT_ID}
AWS_TARGET_BUCKET_NAME=${SHOPFAST_DATA_BUCKET}
EOF

Run the client application

Setup the client application dependencies

cd federation/web

# Install dependencies
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a copy of client_secrets.json.example and rename it to client_secrets.json. Update the client_id and client_secret with values from your IDP (in our case, JumpCloud).

cp client_secrets.json.example client_secrets.json

Setup credentials then run the client application

# Set AWS credentials for the S3 Access Grant account (111111111111 in the example)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

# Assume the S3 Access Grant role
CREDENTIALS_JSON=$(aws sts assume-role --role-arn $AWS_S3_ACCESS_GRANT_CLIENT_APP_ROLE_ARN --role-session-name s3-access-grants)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(echo $CREDENTIALS_JSON | jq -r '.Credentials.AccessKeyId')
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(echo $CREDENTIALS_JSON | jq -r '.Credentials.SecretAccessKey')
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$(echo $CREDENTIALS_JSON | jq -r '.Credentials.SessionToken')

# Run the client application
python3 jumpcloud.py

Login at http://localhost:5000/login, then navigate to http://localhost:5000/get-s3-data to view the data.

Cleanup

Remove AWS IAM Identity Center configuration

# Set AWS credentials for the AWS IAM Identity Center (IIC) account (222222222222 in the example)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

cd federation
terraform init
terraform destroy

Remove AWS S3 Access Grants configuration

# Set AWS credentials for the S3 Access Grant account (111111111111 in the example)
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

cd ..
terraform init
terraform destroy
