The AWS SigV4 Proxy will sign incoming HTTP requests and forward them to the host specified in the Host
header.
You can strip out arbirtary headers from the incoming request by using the -s option.
Build and run the Proxy
The proxy uses the default AWS SDK for Go credential search path:
* Environment variables.
* Shared credentials file.
* IAM role for Amazon EC2 or ECS task role
More information can be found in the [developer guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html)
docker build -t aws-sigv4-proxy .
# Env vars
docker run --rm -ti \
-e 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR ACCESS KEY ID>' \
-e 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR SECRET ACCESS KEY>' \
-p 8080:8080 \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v
# Shared Credentials
docker run --rm -ti \
-v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e 'AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true' \
-e 'AWS_PROFILE=<SOME PROFILE>' \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v

Running the service and stripping out sigv2 authorization headers
docker run --rm -ti \
-v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e 'AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true' \
-e 'AWS_PROFILE=<SOME PROFILE>' \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v -s Authorization
Running the service and preserving the original Authorization header as X-Original-Authorization (useful because Authorization header will be overwritten.)
docker run --rm -ti \
-v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e 'AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true' \
-e 'AWS_PROFILE=<SOME PROFILE>' \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v --duplicate-headers Authorization
Running the service with Assume Role to use temporary credentials
docker run --rm -ti \
-v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e 'AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true' \
-e 'AWS_PROFILE=<SOME PROFILE>' \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v --role-arn <ARN OF ROLE TO ASSUME>
Include service name & region overrides when you notice errors like unable to determine service from host
for API gateway, for example.
docker run --rm -ti \
-v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e 'AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true' \
-e 'AWS_PROFILE=<SOME PROFILE>' \
aws-sigv4-proxy -v --name execute-api --region us-east-1
OpenSearch
-
Access AWS OpenSearch domain, hosted in private subnet of AWS VPC, with access policy restricted to IAM role.
Prepare connection (assume role, export
AWS_PROFILE
, run ssh tunnel):aws sts assume-role \ --role-arn "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role" \ --role-session-name role-profile export AWS_PROFILE=role-profile ssh \ -4 \ -o BatchMode="yes" \ -o StrictHostKeyChecking="no" \ -o ProxyCommand="aws ssm start-session --target %h --region eu-west-1 --document-name AWS-StartSSHSession --parameters portNumber=%p" \ -i /Users/user/.ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@i-bastion-host \ -L 4443:vpc-private-domain-name.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com:443 \ -N
Finally, run proxy:
docker run --rm -ti \ -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \ --network=bridge \ -p 8080:8080 \ -e "AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=true" \ -e "AWS_PROFILE=role-profile" \ aws-sigv4-proxy \ --verbose --log-failed-requests --log-signing-process --no-verify-ssl \ --name es --region eu-west-1 \ --host host.docker.internal:4443 \ --sign-host eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com
