Component: aws-ssosync
Deploys AWS ssosync to sync Google Groups with AWS SSO.
AWS ssosync
is a Lambda application that regularly manages Identity Store users.
This component requires manual deployment by a privileged user because it deploys a role in the root or identity management account.
Usage
You should be able to deploy the aws-ssosync
component to the same account as aws-sso
. Typically that is the
core-gbl-root
or gbl-root
stack.
Stack Level: Global Deployment: Must be deployed by managers
or SuperAdmin using atmos
CLI
The following is an example snippet for how to use this component:
(stacks/catalog/aws-ssosync.yaml
)
components:
terraform:
aws-ssosync:
vars:
enabled: true
name: aws-ssosync
google_admin_email: an-actual-[email protected]
ssosync_url_prefix: "https://github.com/Benbentwo/ssosync/releases/download"
ssosync_version: "2.0.2"
google_credentials_ssm_path: "/ssosync"
log_format: text
log_level: debug
schedule_expression: "rate(15 minutes)"
We recommend following a similar process to what the AWS ssosync documentation recommends.
Deployment
Overview of steps:
- Configure AWS IAM Identity Center
- Configure Google Cloud console
- Configure Google Admin console
- Deploy the
aws-ssosync
component - Deploy the
aws-sso
component
1. Configure AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS SSO)
Follow AWS documentation to configure SAML and SCIM with Google Workspace and IAM Identity Center.
As part of this process, save the SCIM endpoint token and URL. Then in AWS SSM Parameter Store, create two
SecureString
parameters in the same account used for AWS SSO. This is usually the root account in the primary region.
/ssosync/scim_endpoint_access_token
/ssosync/scim_endpoint_url
One more parameter you'll need is your Identity Store ID. To obtain your Identity Store ID, go to the AWS Identity
Center console and select Settings
. Under the Identity Source
section, copy the Identity Store ID. In the same
account used for AWS SSO, create the following parameter:
/ssosync/identity_store_id
2. Configure Google Cloud console
Within the Google Cloud console, we need to create a new Google Project and Service Account and enable the Admin SDK API. Follow these steps:
- Open the Google Cloud console: https://console.cloud.google.com
- Create a new project. Give the project a descriptive name such as
AWS SSO Sync
- Enable Admin SDK in APIs:
APIs & Services > Enabled APIs & Services > + ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES
# use raw URL so that this works in both GitHub and docusaurus
- Create Service Account:
IAM & Admin > Service Accounts > Create Service Account
(ref).
# use raw URL so that this works in both GitHub and docusaurus
- Download credentials for the new Service Account:
IAM & Admin > Service Accounts > select Service Account > Keys > ADD KEY > Create new key > JSON
# use raw URL so that this works in both GitHub and docusaurus
- Save the JSON credentials as a new
SecureString
AWS SSM parameter in the same account used for AWS SSO. Use the full JSON string as the value for the parameter.
/ssosync/google_credentials
3. Configure Google Admin console
- Open the Google Admin console
- From your domain’s Admin console, go to
Main menu menu > Security > Access and data control > API controls
(ref) - In the Domain wide delegation pane, select
Manage Domain Wide Delegation
. - Click
Add new
. - In the Client ID field, enter the client ID obtained from the service account creation steps above.
- In the OAuth Scopes field, enter a comma-delimited list of the scopes required for your application. Use the scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud_search.query
for search applications using the Query API. - Add the following permission: (ref)
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.member.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly
4. Deploy the aws-ssosync
component
Make sure that all four of the following SSM parameters exist in the target account and region:
/ssosync/scim_endpoint_url
/ssosync/scim_endpoint_access_token
/ssosync/identity_store_id
/ssosync/google_credentials
If deployed successfully, Groups and Users should be programmatically copied from the Google Workspace into AWS IAM Identity Center on the given schedule.
If these Groups are not showing up, check the CloudWatch logs for the new Lambda function and refer the FAQs included below.
5. Deploy the aws-sso
component
Use the names of the Groups now provisioned programmatically in the aws-sso
component catalog. Follow the
aws-sso component documentation to deploy the aws-sso
component.
FAQ
Why is the tool forked by Benbentwo
?
The awslabs
tool requires AWS Secrets Managers for the Google Credentials. However, we would prefer to use AWS SSM to
store all credentials consistency and not require AWS Secrets Manager. Therefore we've created a Pull Request and will
point to a fork until the PR is merged.
Ref:
What should I use for the Google Admin Email Address?
The Service Account created will assume the User given by --google-admin
/ SSOSYNC_GOOGLE_ADMIN
/
var.google_admin_email
. Therefore, this user email must be a valid Google admin user in your organization.
This is not the same email as the Service Account.
If Google fails to query Groups, you may see the following error:
Notifying Lambda and mark this execution as Failure: googleapi: Error 404: Domain not found., notFound
Common Group Name Query Error
If filtering group names using query strings, make sure the provided string is valid. For example,
google_group_match: "name:aws*"
is incorrect. Instead use google_group_match: "Name:aws*"
If not, you may again see the same error message:
Notifying Lambda and mark this execution as Failure: googleapi: Error 404: Domain not found., notFound
Ref:
The specific error you are seeing is because the google api doesn't like the query string you provided for the -g parameter. try -g "Name:Fuel*"
