Easily Switch Accounts in AWS

When working with multiple AWS accounts, it can be a pain to keep signing out and signing back in. I work with a number of accounts, my own, customer accts, burner accts, etc. It was a pain to keep logging in and out of the AWS Console. Thankfully the AWS Console has a "Role Switcher" that lets you quickly switch between accounts built-in. It does this by assuming a role from another account. Here's how to set that up...

First of all, please note that token expiration and revoking are two different things.

1. Expiration only happens for web apps, not for native mobile apps, because native apps never expire.
2. Revoking only happens when (1) uses click the logout button on the website or native Apps;(2) users reset their passwords; (3) users revoke their tokens explicitly in the administration panel.

1. How to hadle JWT expiration

A JWT token that never expires is dangerous if the token is stolen then someone can always access the user's data.

Quoted from JWT RFC:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :ensure_xhr

  private
    def ensure_xhr
      if request.get? && request.format && (request.format.js? || request.format.json?)
        head :forbidden unless request.xhr?
      end
    end
end

This is a mix between two sources:

• http://www.alfielapeter.com/posts/8-transferring-s3-bucket-contents-between-accounts-with-s3cmd
• and http://blog.techopsguru.com/2011/12/s3-bucket-copying-with-multiple-accounts.html

basically the first resource is great but didn't work for me: I had to remove the trailing "/*" in the resource string to make it work. I also noticed that setting the policy on the source bucket was sufficient. In the end these are the exact steps I followed to copy data between two buckets on two accounts

Basically the idea there is:

• we allowe the destination account to read the source bucket (in the console for the source account)
• we log as the destination and start the copy
