AWS VPN Client + SAML SSO automation using CLI?

Question

Hi!

I've created a periodic python script accessing AWS instances that should only be accessed via VPN. I cant use OpenVPN client since we use SAML auth for the VPN client and I cant find any KB for AWS VPN Client CLI options.

do anyone know a way to use AWS VPN Client using CLI? mainly 2x commands - Connect & Disconnect.

Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, AWS VPN Client doesn't have CLI options for direct connection and disconnection. You can leverage AWS Systems Manager Session Manager to SSH into EC2 instances securely without needing a VPN client. Alternatively, consider automating the VPN client

Answer

Thanks for the answer.

That's a shame, could be useful... but anyway I guess I'll just wrapped the code in a docker inside that env (I hoped to avoid it if possible).

Thanks again!
