aws configure sso error : (InvalidRequestException) when calling the StartDeviceAuthorization operation

[rasheedzrt]

Hi,

I was trying to configure sso using azuread but I'm seeing this below error.

An error occurred (InvalidRequestException) when calling the StartDeviceAuthorization operation:

can anyone please suggest why do we see this error, I was going through the aws documentation and I see that this could be due to some parameters missing and other other issues.

I've tried to setup debug parameteres too but couldn't get much info.

[default]
region = us-east-1
saml_auth_url = https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/app-id?tenantId=client-id
saml_username = [email protected]
saml_provider = azuread
output = json

[profile nonprodus]
region = us-east-1
saml_auth_url = https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/app-id?tenantId=client-id
saml_username = [email protected]
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::account-number:role/PowerUser
source_profile = default

[profile produs]
region = us-east-1
saml_auth_url = https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/app-id?tenantId=client-id
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::account-number:role/PowerUser
source_profile = default

Thanks,
Rasheed

Hi @rasheedzrt, thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you're having issues.

As I'm trying to locate the issue, could you share the debug logs by adding --debug to your CLI command? Also which CLI version are you using?

Best,
John

The issue with me was that the Authentication URL was incorrect. In my case, I have sso_start_url as a parameter in my config file, and there was an extra character in there.

[CollinAlpert]

This was it, thanks so much!

[hdodov]

We're using Okta and I was getting the same error. I ended up having to use okta-aws-cli-assume-role. After that, I could just call okta-aws default sts get-caller-identity and that would generate credentials for me.

[fdreger]

Same error. It seems (looking at the logs) that there is a silly error with marshalling a bootcore.config.Config instance - instead of a proper JSON objects, a string <bootcore.config.Config object at 0x00000012312312312> is injected into the request, triggering a 400 response (and justly so, the request is broken).

Possibly, an update of bootcore changed a map to an object. Looks like a simple and very necessary fix.

(un?)fortunately, that's not the case. Sniffing traffic reveal such a request for the 400 one:

#POSTed req:
{
    "clientId": "xxx",
    "clientSecret": "xxx",
    "startUrl": "xxx"
}

# response:
# headers:
# x-amzn-RequestId:  xxx
# x-amzn-ErrorType:  InvalidRequestException:http://internal.amazon.com/coral/com.amazonaws.sso.oidc/

{
    "error": "invalid_request",
    "error_description": "Invalid request"
}

so no marshaling errors here...

[aogier]

just for sake of completeness this is the payload which gets received in the first request then posted to the 400 one:

[cameron-bam]

For anyone else who runs into this problem, I was able to resolve the issue by removing all files in ~/.aws/sso/cache. You may need to clear ~/.aws/config as well, but I didn't test enough to confirm.

[tungnv87]

Thanks @cameron-bam - clear caches & remove config file is work for me

[FabioRodrigues]

thx @cameron-bam!

[gclabbe-circuit]

I did have to kill the config file and re-run

aws configure sso
