Versions:
Ellosoft AWS Credentials Manager CLI, developed by Ellosoft Limited, is a command-line utility designed to simplify the handling of AWS access keys and session tokens when single sign-on is brokered through OKTA. Released in its third iteration as version 1.1.0, the program belongs to the developer-tools category and addresses the frequent friction DevOps engineers encounter when temporary credentials expire during automated deployments or local testing. By wrapping the OKTA authentication flow in a concise set of commands, the tool retrieves short-lived AWS credentials and transparently refreshes them in the background, eliminating manual copy-paste steps and reducing the risk of leaked long-term keys. Typical use cases include continuous-integration pipelines that need to assume cross-account roles, data-engineering scripts that run on scheduled triggers, and cloud consultants who switch between multiple customer environments throughout the day. The lightweight binary runs on any Windows workstation that has PowerShell or CMD available, parses the local AWS credentials file, and injects updated session variables so that subsequent calls to aws-cli, Terraform, Serverless Framework, or SDK-powered applications proceed without interruption. Because the utility operates entirely from the terminal, it integrates cleanly with existing shell aliases, Git hooks, and IDE run configurations, making it equally valuable for ad-hoc administrative tasks and fully automated workflows. Ellosoft AWS Credentials Manager CLI is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
