Allow configuring sso-session settings non-interactively

[fitzoh]

Describe the feature

As mentioned in this comment, you cannot use aws configure set to set sso-session parameters in the AWS config file.

The CLI should provide a mechanism to non-interactively set these values

Use Case

I'm trying to set up command line tools for multiple users in an organization, making it easy to use AWS SSO for their tooling. I would like to be able to give them a script to run to add SSO config to their config files vs manual instructions.

Proposed Solution

Update aws configure to work with sso-session prefixes like this:

aws configure set sso-session.session-name.sso_region eu-west-1 

(As shown by @ezzatron in https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/pull/7364#issuecomment-1329854689).

Alternatively, update aws configure sso-session to allow non-interactive operation by allowing flags instead of passing in values interactively (this might make sense as a separate issue)

Thanks for creating this feature request, I could see how it would be helpful to have this functionality. I'll mark this issue for further review by the team, and in the meantime others can add a 👍 to this issue or comment here to share any more details on use cases.

@tim-finnigan Any updates on when the team will be able to review the PR?

[fitz-vivodyne]

Just bumping this to mention there's a PR open to resolve this coming up on a year open without review: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/pull/7847

Also very interested in the functionality described here and implemented in #7847

Dear AWS, with all due respect, this is "must have" for a large organization that wants to automate onboarding CLI users to https://aws.amazon.com/iam/identity-center/

Meanwhile, I suppose we can use workarounds like $AWS_CONFIG_FILE or https://github.com/pixelb/crudini. But feels grodo.

I wound up implementing the missing features with crudini. In addition to Identity Center, I needed to support a --legacy option to use AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

My implementation was to delete any [profile {PROFILE}] or [sso-session {SESSION}] sections from ~/.aws/config and then create only the sections needed for Identity Center vs --legacy -- making it easy to switch between both options.

1. When deleting a section, I used crudini --del {SECTION}
2. When creating [profile {PROFILE}], I used aws configure set.
3. When creating [sso-session {SESSION}], I used crudini --set

Therefore:

1. This PR would handle requirement 3
2. The addition of aws configure unset {SECTION} [{KEY}] [{VALUE}] would handle requirement 1 and keep me entirely in the realm of aws configure

Thanks. Not so grodo after all.

I was able to automate the setup using a shell script like:

echo "sso-session-name                                                                                                                                                                                  
https://sso-alias.awsapps.com/start
us-east-1
sso:account:access" | aws configure sso-session

However, would be nice to have the option to either set the variables using aws configure or passing it as parameter to the aws configure sso-session command

I wrote a script to configure all AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO) accounts and roles automatically. It requires AWS CLI v2 and jq. Download the aws_configure_all_sso.sh script here: https://codeberg.org/dedevsecops/aws

needing to do something similar to @evanstucker-hates-2fa to get a fairly simple non-interactive setup that isn't full of traps and annoyances for new users. Primarily need to be able to generate a profile with a known name that can be reference from makefile. The current tool makes this obnoxiously hard. In particular no easy was to get the sso_account_id other than digging around for access token in cache and hitting API as above.
