Hi,
Working with JANET's amazon cloud pilot we have created a guide on how to use shibboleth to access the amazon portal.
https://community.ja.net/groups/amazon-web-services-aws/article/guide-shibbolising-aws
It's relatively straightforward to do. It also has the benefit that you can use amazon's native accounts/identities and shibboleth provided identities and roles at the same time. Credit to my colleague Chris Franks for figuring out the intricacies and writing the guide.
Shibbolised access is particularly useful if you want to use shibboleth with many users (e.g. computing coursework) or leverage your own IDM for increased security.
Kind Regards
Cal
