How can I get AWS credentials using a SAML token?
What I am trying to do: Authenticate my users using ADFS, pass the SAML response token to AWS and get back credentials which I can then use to access AWS resources.
What I am able to do now: Sign in successfully through ADFS and get the SAML token back which confirms the successfully sign in.
What is not working: Calling the AWS.STS.assumeRoleWithSaml functions gets a 403 Access Denied error
How it works thus far:
Users click a button on my application, which calls the following:
var RPID = encodeURIComponent('urn:amazon:webservices');
var result = 'https://virtualMachine.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignOn.aspx?loginToRp=' + RPID;
window.location.href = result;
A successful sign in here returns back to the application a SAML response token
var saml = new URL(window.location.href);
var token = saml.searchParams.get('SAMLResponse');
The application then calls assumeRoleWithSAML to get back credentials. The Principal ARN refers to the identity provider I am trying to access and the RoleARN refers to a role which has full access to everything:
authenticateSAMLwithCognito(token) {
//define our security token service object
var sts = new AWS.STS();
//build our parameter object
var params = {
//cognito identity provider
PrincipalArn: 'arn:aws:iam::accountid:saml-provider/wmpo-adfs',
//role assuming
RoleArn: 'arn:aws:iam::accountid:role/ADFS-Dev',
//authorization
SAMLAssertion: token
}
console.log("Parameters sent", params);
sts.assumeRoleWithSAML(params, (err, data) => {
if(err) console.log(err);
else console.log("Success!", data);
})
}
However the response from this exchange is:
I am really unsure why this is, but if anyone has some helpful pushes that would be great! Thanks and happy new year

Wow that only took days, but though I was constantly stumbling, I finally made it to the point I was trying to get.
The answer was in the same credentials get function that I used when I authenticated users through a username password combo by way of a Cognito User Pool.
authenticateThroughCognito(token) {
AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: 'us-west-2:IdentityPoolId',
Logins: {
'arn:aws:iam::accountId:saml-provider/wmpo-adfs' : token
}
});
(AWS.config.credentials as AWS.Credentials).get((err) => {
if(err) console.log(err);
else {
console.log("Success");
console.log(AWS.config.credentials);
}
})
}
