Depending on your SSO provider, you can list all the roles using saml2aws[0] and then parse the output so you can generate the relavant config. It is a bit tedious, but it works.

`aws configure sso` does that, but:

1 - You need to do that with each account / role pair

2 - It gives profiles very long names by default (<role>-<account_number>)

3 - It does not set $AWS_PROFILE, so you need to pass `<...> --profile <...>` manually

So the code is actually there already, they just need to make the experience better.

I imagine most are like me and after doing this once or twice falls back to a text editor.

Another complaint I have is that afaik none of the SDKs have any kind of API for SSO login.
