login requests, to establish client authenticity. Clients can choose to set a
custom nonce if preferred, in which case, it is recommended that clients provide
a strong nonce.  If a nonce is provided but with an empty value, it indicates

	// The use cases we want to support, in order of increasing complexity, are:
	// 1. All defaults (client assumes sts.amazonaws.com and server has no override)
	// 2. Alternate STS regions: client wants to go to a specific region, in which case
	//    Vault must be configured with that endpoint as well. The client's signed request
	//    will include a signature over what the client expects the Host header to be,
	//    so we cannot change that and must match.
	// 3. Alternate STS regions with a proxy that is transparent to Vault's clients.
	//    In this case, Vault is aware of the proxy, as the proxy is configured as the
	//    endpoint, but the clients should NOT be aware of the proxy (because STS will
	//    not be aware of the proxy)
	// It's also annoying because:
	// 1. The AWS Sigv4 algorithm requires the Host header to be defined
	// 2. Some of the official SDKs (at least botocore and aws-sdk-go) don't actually
	//    include an explicit Host header in the HTTP requests they generate, relying on
	//    the underlying HTTP library to do that for them.
	// 3. To get a validly signed request, the SDKs check if a Host header has been set
	//    and, if not, add an inferred host header (based on the URI) to the internal
	//    data structure used for calculating the signature, but never actually expose
	//    that to clients. So then they just "hope" that the underlying library actually
	//    adds the right Host header which was included in the signature calculation.
	// We could either explicitly require all Vault clients to explicitly add the Host header
	// in the encoded request, or we could also implicitly infer it from the URI.
	// We choose to support both -- allow you to explicitly set a Host header, but if not,
	// infer one from the URI.
	// HOWEVER, we have to preserve the request URI portion of the client's

const pathLoginSyn = `
Authenticates an EC2 instance with Vault.
`

const pathLoginDesc = `
Authenticate AWS entities, either an arbitrary IAM principal or EC2 instances.

IAM principals are authenticated by processing a signed sts:GetCallerIdentity
request and then parsing the response to see who signed the request. Optionally,
the caller can be inferred to be another AWS entity type, with EC2 instances
the only currently supported entity type, and additional filtering can be
implemented based on that inferred type.

An EC2 instance is authenticated using the PKCS#7 signature of the instance identity
document and a client created nonce. This nonce should be unique and should be used by
the instance for all future logins, unless 'disallow_reauthentication' option on the
registered role is enabled, in which case client nonce is optional.

First login attempt, creates a access list entry in Vault associating the instance to the nonce
provided. All future logins will succeed only if the client nonce matches the nonce in the
access list entry.

By default, a cron task will periodically look for expired entries in the access list
and deletes them. The duration to periodically run this, is one hour by default.
However, this can be configured using the 'config/tidy/identities' endpoint. This tidy
action can be triggered via the API as well, using the 'tidy/identities' endpoint.
