Advanced tools
Package description
The @aws-sdk/credential-provider-sso package is designed to facilitate the retrieval of AWS credentials using AWS Single Sign-On (SSO). This is particularly useful for developers and applications that need to authenticate against AWS services using SSO. The package simplifies the process of obtaining temporary credentials for AWS SDK clients.
Obtaining AWS credentials from SSO
This feature allows developers to obtain AWS credentials by specifying the SSO start URL, account ID, region, and role name. The credentials can then be used to authenticate AWS SDK clients.
const { fromSSO } = require('@aws-sdk/credential-provider-sso');
const client = new SomeAwsClient({
credentials: fromSSO({
ssoStartUrl: 'https://my-sso-start-url.example.com',
ssoAccountId: '123456789012',
ssoRegion: 'us-west-2',
ssoRoleName: 'MyRoleName'
})
});The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript. While it supports various methods of authentication, including credentials from environment variables, shared credentials file, and IAM roles for EC2 instances, it does not specifically focus on SSO credential retrieval like @aws-sdk/credential-provider-sso. However, it provides a broader scope of AWS service interactions.
AWS Amplify is a development platform for building secure, scalable mobile and web applications. It includes support for authentication via Amazon Cognito, which can be integrated with SSO, but it's more focused on application development rather than directly providing AWS credentials for SDK clients. Compared to @aws-sdk/credential-provider-sso, AWS Amplify offers a higher-level abstraction for authentication and authorization.
