Alibaba Cloud Credentials for Go is a tool for Go developers to manage credentials.
This document introduces how to obtain and use Alibaba Cloud Credentials for Go.
- It's necessary for you to make sure your system have installed a Go environment which is new than 1.10.x.
Use go get to install SDK：
go get -u github.com/aliyun/credentials-goIf you use dep to manage your dependence, you can use the following command:
dep ensure -add github.com/aliyun/credentials-goBefore you begin, you need to sign up for an Alibaba Cloud account and retrieve your Credentials.
Setup access_key credential through User Information Management, it have full authority over the account, please keep it safe. Sometimes for security reasons, you cannot hand over a primary account AccessKey with full access to the developer of a project. You may create a sub-account RAM Sub-account , grant its authorization，and use the AccessKey of RAM Sub-account.
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main(){
config := new(credentials.Config).
// Which type of credential you want
SetType("access_key").
// AccessKeyId of your account
SetAccessKeyId("AccessKeyId").
// AccessKeySecret of your account
SetAccessKeySecret("AccessKeySecret")
akCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := cred.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessSecret, credentialType)
}Create a temporary security credential by applying Temporary Security Credentials (TSC) through the Security Token Service (STS).
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main() {
config := new(credentials.Config).
// Which type of credential you want
SetType("sts").
// AccessKeyId of your account
SetAccessKeyId("AccessKeyId").
// AccessKeySecret of your account
SetAccessKeySecret("AccessKeySecret").
// Temporary Security Token
SetSecurityToken("SecurityToken")
stsCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := stsCredential.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
securityToken := credential.SecurityToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessSecret, securityToken, credentialType)
}When executing oidc role SSO, obtain the temporary identity credential (STS token) playing the RAM role by calling the AssumeRoleWithOIDC api.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main() {
config := new(credentials.Config).
SetType("oidc_role_arn").
SetOIDCProviderArn("OIDCProviderArn").
SetOIDCTokenFilePath("OIDCTokenFilePath").
SetRoleSessionName("RoleSessionName").
SetPolicy("Policy").
SetRoleArn("RoleArn").
SetSessionExpiration(3600)
oidcCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := oidcCredential.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
securityToken := credential.SecurityToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, securityToken, credentialType)
}By specifying RAM Role, the credential will be able to automatically request maintenance of STS Token. If you want to limit the permissions(How to make a policy) of STS Token, you can assign value for Policy.
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main(){
config := new(credentials.Config).
// Which type of credential you want
SetType("ram_role_arn").
// AccessKeyId of your account
SetAccessKeyId("AccessKeyId").
// AccessKeySecret of your account
SetAccessKeySecret("AccessKeySecret").
// Format: acs:ram::USER_Id:role/ROLE_NAME
SetRoleArn("RoleArn").
// Role Session Name
SetRoleSessionName("RoleSessionName").
// Not required, limit the permissions of STS Token
SetPolicy("Policy").
// Not required, limit the Valid time of STS Token
SetRoleSessionExpiration(3600)
arnCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := arnCredential.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
securityToken := credential.SecurityToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, securityToken, credentialType)
}import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main(){
config := new(credentials.Config).SetType("credentials_uri").SetURL("http://127.0.0.1")
uriCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := uriCredential.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
securityToken := credential.SecurityToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, securityToken, credentialType)
}By specifying the role name, the credential will be able to automatically request maintenance of STS Token.
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main(){
config := new(credentials.Config).
// Which type of credential you want
SetType("ecs_ram_role").
// `roleName` is optional. It will be retrieved automatically if not set. It is highly recommended to set it up to reduce requests
SetRoleName("RoleName").
// `EnableIMDSv2` is optional and is recommended to be turned on. It can be replaced by setting environment variable: ALIBABA_CLOUD_ECS_IMDSV2_ENABLE
SetEnableIMDSv2(true)
ecsCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := ecsCredential.GetCredential()
accessKeyId := credential.AccessKeyId
accessSecret := credential.AccessKeySecret
securityToken := credential.SecurityToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, securityToken, credentialType)
}If credential is required by the Cloud Call Centre (CCC), please apply for Bearer Token maintenance by yourself.
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aliyun/credentials-go/credentials"
)
func main(){
config := new(credentials.Config).
// Which type of credential you want
SetType("bearer").
// BearerToken of your account
SetBearerToken("BearerToken")
bearerCredential, err := credentials.NewCredential(config)
if err != nil {
return
}
credential, err := bearerCredential.GetCredential()
bearerToken := credential.BearerToken
credentialType := credential.Type
fmt.Println(bearerToken, credentialType)
}If you call NewCredential() with nil, it will use provider chain to get credential for you.
The program first looks for environment credentials in the environment variable. If the ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are defined and are not empty, the program will use them to create the default credential. If not, the program loads and looks for the client in the configuration file.
If there is ~/.alibabacloud/credentials default file (Windows shows C:\Users\USER_NAME\.alibabacloud\credentials), the program will automatically create credential with the name of 'default'. The default file may not exist, but a parse error throws an exception. The specified files can also be loaded indefinitely: AlibabaCloud::load('/data/credentials', 'vfs://AlibabaCloud/credentials', ...); This configuration file can be shared between different projects and between different tools. Because it is outside the project and will not be accidentally committed to the version control. Environment variables can be used on Windows to refer to the home directory %UserProfile%. Unix-like systems can use the environment variable $HOME or ~ (tilde). The path to the default file can be modified by defining the ALIBABA_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS_FILE environment variable.
[default] # Default credential
type = access_key # Certification type: access_key
access_key_id = foo # access key id
access_key_secret = bar # access key secretIf the environment variable ALIBABA_CLOUD_ECS_METADATA is defined and not empty, the program will take the value of the environment variable as the role name and request http://100.100.100.200/latest/meta-data/ram/security-credentials/ to get the temporary Security credential.
