aws-adfs is a command-line tool created to streamline AWS CLI authentication against Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) with support for multi-factor authentication (MFA). It simplifies the process of re-logging into the AWS Security Token Service (STS) without requiring users to enter their credentials repeatedly, providing an extended login session. This eliminates the need to store the user's actual credentials, which can enhance security. Additionally, aws-adfs supports automation tools like Ansible and integrates with various MFA providers, including Duo Security, Symantec VIP, RSA SecurID, and Azure AD MFA. This tool aims to improve the authentication process and security when working with AWS resources.
