Helper scripts for AWS MFA sessions

A pair of helper scripts to start and end MFA sessions for using temporary AWS credentials.

mfs-start-session uses aws sts get-session-token to generate and output temporary credentials mfs-end-session creates (or updates) an inline user policy which prevents use of any existing MFA tokens based on aws:TokenIssueTime

c.f. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_control-access_disable-perms.html#denying-access-to-credentials-by-issue-time

Requirements

• awscli
• jq
• AWS CLI tools configured (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html#cli-quick-configuration)
• MFA enabled on your user account
• Permission to query the IAM:ListMFADevices API

An example managed policy that requires MFA for any API call except IAM:ListMFADevices:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "RequireMfaUse",
            "Effect": "Deny",
            "NotAction": "IAM:ListMFADevices",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Condition": {
                "Null": {
                    "aws:MultiFactorAuthAge": "true"
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "Sid": "RequireMfaWithinTimeFrame",
            "Effect": "Deny",
            "NotAction": "IAM:ListMFADevices",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Condition": {
                "NumericGreaterThan": {
                    "aws:MultiFactorAuthAge": "28800"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Usage

• To start an MFA session:

$(./mfa-start-session <profile>)
Enter MFA token code for arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:mfa/USERNAME: XXXXXX
Token expires on 2016-05-03T04:16:24Z

• To end a session:

$(./mfa-ens-session)
Updating inline policy
Clearing session tokens from this shell

If you've manually copied and exported the AWS_* environment variables to another shell, do the following to clear them:

unset AWS_SESSION_TOKEN AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
