It authenticates you to Okta using your username, password, and optional MFA token, then uses SAML to request temporary AWS credentials from AWS STS. The tool handles the complexity of SAML assertion exchange and lets you select which Okta AWS application and role to assume\u2014useful when your organization has multiple AWS accounts or roles tied to different Okta apps.\n\nThe package depends on boto3 for AWS API calls, beautifulsoup4 and html5lib for parsing Okta's SAML responses, keyring for secure credential storage, and fido2 plus ctap-keyring-device for hardware security key support. It's designed for developers and operators who work in Okta-federated AWS environments and want to avoid storing permanent AWS keys locally.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your organization uses Okta for identity and has configured SAML integration with AWS. The tool solves a real operational problem\u2014eliminating long-lived AWS keys in Okta-federated environments\u2014and is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities. The 823-day gap since the last release is a minor concern but does not block adoption for stable use cases; verify that your Okta and AWS setup match the documented prerequisites before deploying."},"id":"gimme-aws-creds","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gimme-aws-creds","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gimme-aws-creds.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gimme-aws-creds/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gimme-aws-creds","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A CLI to get temporary AWS credentials from Okta"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":123859,"position":11896,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.8.2"}
