About:
Gimme AWS Creds is a command-line interface tool that authenticates against Okta's Identity Provider to retrieve temporary AWS credentials. It automates the process of assuming AWS IAM roles defined within Okta applications, eliminating the need for manual console logins. The tool outputs credentials in a format compatible with standard AWS CLI configuration files.
Key Features:
  • Automated Okta authentication flow
  • Support for multiple AWS accounts and roles
  • Generates temporary STS credentials
  • Configurable via INI file
  • MFA support
Use Cases:
  • Switching between development, staging, and production AWS accounts quickly
  • Automating CI/CD pipeline authentication with Okta SSO
  • Managing credentials for users with access to multiple AWS accounts
Alternatives:
  • aws-okta – Similar functionality but implemented in Go; often considered for performance differences
  • saml2aws – Supports multiple SAML providers including Okta; broader IdP support but similar core utility
