AWS Systems Manager ASP.NET Core Data Protection Provider

Amazon.AspNetCore.DataProtection.SSM allows you to use AWS Systems Manager's Parameter Store to store keys generated by ASP.NET's Data Protection API. This enables you to scale by allowing multiple web servers to share the keys.

The library introduces the following dependencies:

• AWSSDK.SimpleSystemsManagement
• Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.Extensions

Getting Started

Follow the examples below to see how the library can be integrated into your application.

ASP.NET Core Example

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddDataProtection()
        .PersistKeysToAWSSystemsManager("/MyApplication/DataProtection");

    services.AddMvc();
}

Permissions

The AWS credentials used must have access to the ssm:PutParameter and ssm:GetParametersByPath service operations from AWS System Manager. Below is an example IAM policy for those actions.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "rule1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ssm:PutParameter",
                "ssm:GetParametersByPath"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

If the KMSKeyId property is set during the PersistKeysToAWSSystemsManager method then the IAM Policy will also need access to kms:Encrypt for the KMS key used.
