# AWS STS Get MFA Profile
Use this package to automatically setup an MFA enabled profile for AWS CLI

1. Install AWS CLI 
2. Sign up for MFA in the AWS IAM Management console (if you haven't already) and note the MFA ARN.

3. Create an access key in the AWS IAM Management console (if you haven't already) and note the access key id and secret.

4. Create a credential text file profile in your home directory (`'C:\Users\SamuelMercer\.aws\credentials'`) by running 
```bash
aws configure --profile mfa
```

5. Add your `mfa_serial` manually by running 
```bash
aws configure set mfa_serial --profile mfa "arn:aws:iam::467792...:mfa/..."
```

5. Install the python package using pip
```
> python -m pip install aws-sts-get-mfa-profile
```
6. Run the script `get-sts-token.py` using the required length of token in seconds (don't do more than 1 day == 86400 seconds)
```
> get-sts-token.py
```

7. When making AWS CLI calls from now on it should work, e.g. 
```
> aws iam list-users

{
    "Users": [
        {
            ...
```
