De-authorizing connections in EventBridge

Focus mode
De-authorizing connections in EventBridge - Amazon EventBridge

You can de-authorize a connection. De-authorizing a connection removes all authorization parameters. Removing authorization parameters removes the secret from the connection, so you can reuse it without having to create a new connection.

Note

You must update any API destinations or Step Functions workflow tasks that use the de-authorized connection to use a different connection to successfully send requests to the HTTPS endpoint.

In addition to manual de-authorization, EventBridge de-authorizes a connection if the following occurs:

  • EventBridge cannot retrieve the secret because it has been deleted.

  • For connections using OAuth authentication, EventBridge cannot refresh the necessary OAuth token.

  • For connections using Basic or API Key authentication, EventBridge recieves a 401 (UnAuthorize) or 407 (Proxy_Authentication_required) error code.

    In this case, update the connection with appropriate credentials to resolve the error.

To de-authorize a connection using the EventBridge console
  1. Log in to AWS using an account that has permissions to manage EventBridge and open the EventBridge console.

  2. In the left navigation pane, under Integration, choose Connections.

  3. In the Connections table, choose the connection.

  4. On the Connection details page, choose De-authorize.

  5. In the Deauthorize connection? dialog box, enter the name of the connection, and then choose De-authorize.

    The status of the connection changes to De-authorizing until the process is complete. Then the status changes to De-authorized. Now you can edit the connection to add new authorization parameters.
