Describe the bug
Leapp is unable to create web console sessions for IAM Role Chained that exceed one hour in duration. The issue stems from a typo in the parameter name responsible for setting session duration, which results in the parameter being unused. Additionally, AWS rejects requests for signing tokens exceeding 3599 seconds, responding with a 400 error. This is due to the Assume Role Token being generated from Temporary Credentials, which adheres to AWS policies restricting token durations to one hour for chained tokens.

Leapp Version
v.0.26.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Set the Default Webconsole Duration higher than one hour
  3. Create a IAM User session
  4. Create a IAM Role Chained session
  5. Open a Webconsole Duration from that Role Chained Session
  6. Be unlogged after one hour regardless of your configuration

Expected behavior
I expected Leapp to create a web console session for IAM Role Chained with a duration exceeding one hour without encountering an error.

Desktop:

  • OS: MacOS/Linux (not tested in Windows)
  • OS Version Ubuntu 24.04/MacOS 14
  • Leapp Version v0.26.0

Additional context
After debugging the code, I identified a typo in the parameter name for session duration, which prevented its correct usage.

#559

Furthermore, AWS started rejecting requests for signing tokens with durations longer than one hour, responding with a 400 error. The issue arises because the Assume Role Token is generated from Temporary Credentials, which falls under AWS policies limiting token durations for chained tokens.

To resolve this, I suggest discussing the feasibility of generating the Assume Role Token from user credentials instead of temporary credentials. I am willing to implement this change if it aligns with the application's design and security principles.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
