Description
## System details (run the `AWS: About Toolkit` command)
OS: Linux x64 5.15.0-1038-azure
Visual Studio Code extension host: 1.79.0
AWS Toolkit: 1.74.0
node: 16.17.1
## Question
I am running VS code as a devcontainer in a GitHub Codespace. I authenticate to the AWS Toolkit using IAM Identity center. It works well, but I want to be able to use the AWS cli from the integrated terminal using the same credentials. Is this possible? I could run "aws configure sso", but then I'll have to enter the same config twice to get both the toolkit and cli working. Or am I just missing something obvious?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the AWS Toolkit IAM Identity Center session with the configuration used by `aws configure sso`, then investigate how credentials could reach the integrated terminal in a devcontainer or GitHub Codespace. Done means the CLI can use the Toolkit's authenticated session without requiring duplicate setup.
