The session_duration parameter is not used for caching.More logs on CloudTrail caused the increase in the bill.Throttling the API resulted in way more logs on CloudTrail to notify that someone is abusing the AssumeRole API.That caused throttling for the API because of AWS rate limits on AssumeRole API.So it was ~1M request per hour & it was supposed to be only one request.There was an AssumeRole request happening with each other request (~17000 per minute).You have to use this session while calling any api for the other account & when it’s expired re-call AssumeRole API -> The bug link in Rusoto.AssumeRole session lives for 1 hour & could be extended to 12 hours with AWS support help.AssumeRole is used for a cross-account authentication, so to use a service in another account.The KCL was in account A & the Kinesis stream it self was in account B.The bug in a nutshell, AssumeRole API was getting called 1 Million times in 1 hour instead of only one time (as it should be). What the fuck happened, it’s AssumeRole for my KCL!! I was developing a Kinesis Consumer Client Library (KCL) in Rust, and suddenly after a month the AWS cloud trail bill increased by couple of thousand USD. It was painful, and irritating but the feeling I had when the bug was approved that it’s actually a bug was amazing! What happened? I found a bug in Rusoto, it’s the best & maybe the only AWS SDK for Rusoto programming language. Set the Nginx configuration to accept only traffic on poort 443 & headers to be Access Fabric authenticated using.Setup the Nginx server to be as a reverse proxy & points to the internal web application load balancer.Setup CNAME record that points your domain xyz.com to access fabric url generated by ScaleFT.Setup Access Fabric url to be redirected to the your Nginx server.Setup Nginx that is publicly accessible in-front of private web application.This use case is to setup Web application behind Access Fabric using Nginx.Ways to validate headers are mentioned here.On the web application level, you have to validate this header.The Access Fabric forwards the request to the underlying application, with custome header confirming the user’s identity.The Access Fabric confirms with ScaleFT’s authorization engine that the user, the client device and the user’s authentication session comply with any policies applied to the application being accessed.The Access Fabric will, if necessary, require the user to authenticate against their team’s configured identity provider.The user types xyz.com in the browser & xyz.com is an access fabric url.Access Fabric authentication under the hood: ScaleFT can be used to secure access to web applications using Access Fabric.Īccess Fabric is a distributed proxy which uses ScaleFT’s authorization engine to enforce zero trust principles.Ĭheck this link for more details about deploying web application behind Access Fabric. Keep an eye always on the bastion host as it’s publicly accessible so it will be target for attacking.īastion host setup for SSH connection ScaleFT Web access?.Bastion host is a machine that is publicly accessible that is has only port 22 open to the world for SSH connection.Bastion host is used to SSH to machines with no public IPs.Best practice is having ZERO machines that are having any ports other than 22 public to the internet (with public IP).ScaleFT Client should be installed on the client machine that will SSH to the target host.īastion Host setup with ScaleFT - Best practice.
#BEYONDCORP SSH INSTALL#
Sudo apt-get install scaleft-server-toolsĭon’t forget to open port 22 on the target host machine to enable SSH. # Add the ScaleFT apt repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list system config file.Įcho "deb linux main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list # Run those commands to setup ScaleFT on Linux. It provides features related to certificate-based authentication, user account management, and auditing access events.ScaleFT Agent should be installed on dthe machine (target host that needs to SSH to it) so it can grant access to only who can have it.Note: This blog assumes that ScaleFT account, team & cloud account link is already done. ScaleFT can be used to secure access to web applications, enabling centralized management and immediate enforcement of authorization policy.įor the server SSH or RDP access, two things are needed (Agent & Client).It provides two solutions Server-access & Web-access solution.ScaleFT provides Zero Trust network solution out of the box.
