If you're using an external AWS account in AWS SSO, there is no way for you to retrieve the CLI credentials for the role. The workaround suggested by AWS is to use AWS CloudShell.
This Credential Helper extension allows you to retrieve the CLI credentials by passing the SAML Assertion to AWS Security Token Service.
To use this extension:
1. Click on the external AWS account you wish to log into
2. Once the console opens, click on the extension and the popup will appear
3. Your credentials will be available there for you to copy
4. Copy the credentials to your local AWS credentials file
5. Use the AWS CLI from your local machine
Note: This extension does not collect any data. The credentials are available to view only once and are deleted once the popup is closed.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
