Login in Private Browsing Window

This alias is currently only supported in OSX and Linux.

This alias will open a new browser window after getting the temporary login URL for your profile.

You can specify a specific browser to handle your login URL by setting AWS_VAULT_PL_BROWSER to the bundle name of the browser. By default, it will pick your default URL handler in MacOS. It supports the following browsers:

AWS_VAULT_PL_BROWSER value	Browser	Description
org.mozilla.firefox	Firefox	Creates and/or opens a profile with the same name as your aws-vault profile. This allows for multiple profiles to be open simultaneously.
org.mozilla.firefoxdeveloperedition	Firefox Developer Edition	Creates and/or opens a profile with the same name as your aws-vault profile. This allows for multiple profiles to be open simultaneously.
com.google.chrome	Chrome	Opens a new private browsing window for the session. This allows for multiple profiles to be open simultaneously.
com.brave.Browser	Brave	Opens a new private browsing window for the session. This allows for multiple profiles to be open simultaneously.

avsh

Create a shell for a given profile.

For example, place the relevant AWS environment variables for your default profile by running:

avsh default

Prompt Segment

This prompt segment echos out the current aws-vault profile you're logged into. I use this for adding a segment into my custom agnoster theme.

For instance, this code:

prompt_aws_vault() {
  local vault_segment
  vault_segment="`prompt_aws_vault_segment`"
  [[ $vault_segment != '' ]] && prompt_segment cyan black "$vault_segment"
}

Produces this segment in my prompt:

The instructions to customize the prompt vary based on the theme you use. In some cases, you'll need to create a copy of the theme file and edit it to include the prompt segment. You can check out my custom agnoster theme to see how I updated the prompt.

Prompt Customization

You can customize the prompt segment behavior by overriding these variables:

Variable Name	Default	Description
AWS_VAULT_PL_CHAR	☁	The character to display when logged into an aws-vault profile
AWS_VAULT_PL_DEFAULT_PROFILE	default	Only show the character when logged into this profile, not the profile name

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

You can override the default MFA prompt by adding the AWS_VAULT_PL_MFA environment variable.

AWS_VAULT_PL_MFA value	Description	Example
inline	Enter your MFA token as an additional argument to the command.	avsh default 123456 avli default 123456
yubikey	Generate an MFA token from your Yubikey. See the docs for more information.	avsh default avsh default my-yubikey-profile avli default avli default my-yubikey-profile
